NFPA Fluid Power Challenge grant program

The NFPA Education and Technology Foundation awards grants to schools and educational institutions to facilitate the teaching of hydraulics and pneumatics. Are you planning to teach fluid power in your classroom or through a Fluid Power Challenge event? You may qualify for a Fluid Power Challenge grant.

Grant awards are intended to help defray the costs directly related to the educational aspects of the Challenge program, i.e., for the purchase of program materials such as Classroom Exercise Kits or Challenge Event Kits, or other expenses directly related to students and teachers participating in Fluid Power Challenge events or classroom activities that teach fluid power.

Applications may be submitted at any time during the calendar year and are reviewed on an on-going basis. Applicants are required to submit a report of how the money will be used, including a description of the type of materials requested, type of class, activity, or Fluid Power Challenge event they will be used in, class size and grade level. Follow-up reports, including photos, videos and testimonials, are required.
