2027 NASA’s FIRST Robotics Competition Grant Awards
The highly anticipated moment all the FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) teams that applied for a NASA FRC grant has finally arrived!
NASA is happy to announce our 2027 award selections are below. If your FRC team applied for a NASA FRC registration grant, please review the awards list to verify your award status.
Please refer to this webpage for the requirements of the grant along with upcoming deadlines.
All teams which are awarded must complete several requirements prior to kickoff. All of these requirements are to be completed within the FRC Grants Portal. Teams that are awarded a grant will see new menu items when logged into the website. These new menu items will allow the submission of required documents and access to the surveys. Failure to complete these requirements can lead to the loss of sponsorship for this year and future years.
Awarded teams will see the registration paid for within the team dashboard within the next few days.
Team numbers with a single asterisk (*) are provisionally awarded and have additional tasks they must complete prior to receiving funding. We have emailed these teams, but if you haven’t received an email yet please contact us at agency-frc-grants@mail.nasa.gov for more information on how to complete the additional requirements.
Team numbers with two asterisks (**) are not currently registered for a FIRST event and will not receive funding until they complete the event registration process with FIRST.
