Who can apply

FIRST robotics students heading into a skilled trade or apprenticeship

Worth knowing

Aimed squarely at the robotics student who is going into the trades rather than engineering, which most STEM awards quietly exclude. You must have competed on a FIRST Robotics Competition or FIRST Tech Challenge team. Two awards of $2,500, not renewable. The package is a form, a recommendation letter from a high school instructor whose class you actually took, an official high school transcript, and a 500-word essay on your FIRST participation and why you want a trade. Home-schooled applicants should contact the FIRST scholarship committee for substitutes for the letter and transcript. The money is not paid to you: after winning you send FIRST Canada a letter naming the college programme, and it must arrive by the end of the second week of classes. The 2026 deadline was March 15 at 11:59 p.m. ET. Verified against firstroboticscanada.org on 2026-09-08.

About this scholarship

Two awards of $2,500 from FIRST Robotics Canada for students who competed on a FIRST team and are heading into a skilled trade or apprenticeship rather than a degree.
