Friends of Hawaii Robotics Grants Available - Apply Now!

Friends of Hawaii Robotics has long been a sponsor of Botball in Hawaii.  They are also offer individual grants to Robotic Teams.  You complete the grant request and then Friends of Hawaii Robotics sends the grant amount to the KISS Institute for Practical Robotics, which will then credit your account.

For 2015, there are two types of grant awards that are available.  The first type of grant is for $250 and is available for any team.  The second incentive grant award is for new Botball teams.  New teams face a higher cost to participate because they have to purchase new kits.  Most existing teams are reusing their existing Botball kits and register with the lower price.  The new Botball team incentive grant is for an additional $1250, which would bring the total grant request up to $1500.  Because the award is significantly higher, new teams are also asked to commit themselves to Botball for two seasons.

Please download the grant application form at: http://www.friendsofhawaiirobotics.org/get-involved/friends-of-hawaii-robotics-grant-opportunities/  then submit the form.  The deadline for submission is Feb 14th13th 2015.  (Correction - the due date is Feb 13th not the 14th as previously reported.)
