Boeing Under Served Grant

FIRST General Forum
1

Did anyone apply for this grant last year ?
I think there is a couple of teams in Chicago which got the grant last season.

To my knowledge this grant is separate from the 100 grants across U.S that the company is granting to teams with a Boeing Mentor. I think the Boeing Under served grant does not require the team to have a Boeing Mentor, but it has other requirements…

Cheers,
Marcos.

Is there more information about this available on a public-facing site?

Meredith,

Thanks for the link, ECF is Employee Community Fund and it grants all different kinds of funds, but it is not specific to FIRST Robotics. I know of some teams that got funding thru them…

The Boeing Under Served Grant is administered by FIRST I think…

I guess it brings a good question, does FIRST has a page of all different grants available this comming season ?

Cheers,
Marcos.

I was completely unaware that FIRST awarded grants of any sort to teams.
