FIRST Robotics Competition Team Grants
Partnering with FIRST combines the dedication and support of math and science education by The Connecticut Light and Power Company (CL&P) and Yankee Gas Service Company, with their corporate focus on workforce development and education. CL&P has sponsored Regional FIRST Robotics for nearly two decades with grant donations and engineering professionals who coach the teams.
The application for a CL&P/Yankee Gas team grant for the 2012 FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) is to be filled out by student team members. Winning teams will be eligible for grants ranging from $500-$1000. This year's applications are closed.
