Did you apply for a 2009 FIRST Scholarship?    Let us know!  Do you recognize any of the winners below as being from Northern California?  Let us know! In 2009, the FIRST Scholarship Program provided:

• Over $9.8 million in college scholarships
• Over 630 individual scholarship opportunities –   Listing 
• Over 130 Scholarship Providers

These are scholarships for individuals to help pay for college.  Most are available to high school students that participate in either FRC or FTC.

Congrats to the 47 California FIRST Scholarship winners that were awarded approximately $210,000 in scholarship dollars!   What can we do to increase the number of Northern California applicants (and hopefully, then, increase the number of winners)?
