Grant/Scholarship Opportunities

KISS Institute’s Botball Scholarship

Botball® is a program of the KISS Institute for Practical Robotics(KIPR) for middle schools and high schools. KIPR actively recruits corporate sponsors in an effort to keep registration fees down and to provide financial assistance to potential Botball® teams. Scholarships are limited and depend on available sponsors. We do not guarantee that we will be able to offer scholarships in all regions where Botball® tournaments are held, nor do we guarantee that teams receiving scholarships in previous seasons will receive funds again or in the same amount.

 

In an effort to include as many schools as possible, it is our policy to give scholarships in small amounts to several schools rather than large amounts to a few schools. In addition, new teams will typically receive priority.

We expect that teams will develop their own strategies for funding Botball and will apply for Botball® scholarships for no more than three consecutive years.

All scholarship awards are given in the form of a fee waiver.

Scholarships will be awarded in amounts no greater than $1,500 for returning teams and $2,000 for new teams. Awards will be based on competitive evaluation of applications.

OERB Funding for KISS Institute’s Botball Scholarship and Junior Botball Challenge Scholarship. This is for Oklahoma teams only.
