Boston University FIRST Scholarship

Boston University has established a half-tuition scholarship for students who have participated in the FIRST Robotics program. This merit-based scholarship is available to a senior in high school who has participated at least one full season in high school with a FIRST robotics team and who has applied and been admitted to the Boston University College of Engineering. The Boston University FIRST Scholarship recognizes students with outstanding academic ability.

The annually renewable scholarship can be applied for a maximum of eight semesters, provided the student completes at least 12 credits each semester, maintains a 3.20 minimum annual grade point average, and remains in good disciplinary standing. BU FIRST Scholars will also receive funding for up to 10 hours per week to participate in a research program with a College of Engineering faculty member for one semester in the first two years of study. Additionally, BU FIRST Scholars who maintain an overall grade point average of 3.40 are guaranteed admission to a Boston University College of Engineering Master of Science program. Award recipients are expected to contribute to mentoring Boston University's FIRST team.
