FIRST SCHOLARSHIPS

The FIRST Scholarship Program is a partnership between FIRST and organizations that recognize the value of the FIRST experience in preparing young people for the challenges of higher education. FIRST Scholarships are funded and administered directly by the scholarship providers. Most providers are four-year colleges and universities, but the program also includes community colleges, technical schools, corporations, and associations. Each scholarship is unique, with its own award amount, eligibility requirements, application process, and deadlines. While most applications are due during your senior year of high school (December–April), it’s important to carefully check each scholarship’s requirements.
