FRC Team 111, WildStang, began as a small team supported by Motorola Solutions and High School District 214. In 2022, we added a second FRC Team 112, Plus One and the WildStang Robotics Program was renamed and now incorporates 2 FRC competition teams. The teams have realized amazing successes and achievements over the years. The team has endured so successfully due to the dedication and commitment of its teachers, mentors, many who are alumni of the team, the school district and Motorola along with many other sponsors who have come on board over the years.

For the 2023/24 school year, we have received another generous donation, so there are now four separate scholarships available for eligible graduating seniors of the WildStang Robotics Program. Any two, three or four year WildStang Robotics Program Senior planning to attend a 2 or 4 year higher education institution, may apply for one or more of the available scholarships. The scholarship money may be used for tuition, housing or books at a two or four year school of higher education (proof of enrollment will be required upon acceptance). The scholarship recipients will work with the WRSA board to coordinate where the money will be sent.

Applications must be submitted as detailed in each application no later than the application due date, Sunday March 24, 2024.

Mark Koch, his wife Cathy and daughter Mary Margaret are proud to offer an annual $4,000 scholarship, which can be awarded to one or split between two WildStang Robotics students. Mark Koch was the founding educator and leader of the team, retiring in 2016 and returning in Fall 2022 in a part-time district liaison role to the WildStang Robotics Program.
