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.<\/p>\n

For the 2025\/26 school year, we are offering four separate scholarships for eligible graduating seniors of the WildStang Robotics Program. Any WildStang Robotics Program Senior, in good standing, 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. The scholarship recipients will receive the scholarship award from the WRSA Board at the WildStang Program end of the year Awards Night.<\/p>\n

Applications must be submitted as detailed in each application no later than the application due date, Monday, March 30, 2026<\/strong>. <\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
