FIRST Scholarship Program

FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) · National

If you've competed in FIRST Robotics Competition, FIRST Tech Challenge, FIRST LEGO League, or FIRST Global, this portal gathers scholarships from more than 150 colleges, universities, and companies that specifically want to recruit FIRST alumni. Each scholarship sets its own amount, requirements, and deadline, so it's worth browsing often and applying to every one you qualify for rather than picking just one. Most applications are due sometime between December and April of senior year, so start checking the portal during junior year.
