Friends of Hawaii Robotics Grant

Grant Opportunity

Over the past five years, the Robotics Organizing Committee (ROC) has served as the
foundation of support for the six major scholastic robotics programs in the State of Hawai`i:
FIRST Robotics, Botball, FIRST Lego League, VEX, Underwater ROV, and Micro Robotics.
From ROC, the Friends of Hawaii Robotics (FoHR) was born.

A registered Hawaii 501(c) 3
non-profit organization, FoHR provides the financial support for the robotics programs of the
ROC. Through robotics, future world leaders can be engaged in science, technology,
engineering, and math (STEM). We strive to provide the utmost support for our robotics teams
and seek to offer a long-term sustainable future for these life-changing programs.
