2021 NASA Grants for U.S.-Based FRC Teams

NASA’s primary mission involves developing systems that can’t be physically touched once launched, so we know the value of long-distance collaboration, distributed problem solving, and ingenuity in remote operations that will characterize the upcoming competition season.

To assist as many FRC teams as possible to continue inspiring the next generation of science and engineering professionals while persevering through this challenging year, NASA is updating the team grant process. For the 2021 FRC season NASA will offer a $450 grant to every US-based FRC team, which can be applied to the team’s FRC registration costs.

NASA will not require a full application this year for team grants. Instead, teams can simply opt-in to receive the grant by completing this short form by Monday, November 16, 2020. NASA is looking forward to helping as many students participate in these inspiring robotics competition programs as possible.
