ORTOP believes all young people in Oregon should have the opportunity to participate in FIRST. However, financial and systemic barriers create opportunity gaps that disproportionately affect students from under served, underrepresented, and vulnerable communities.

Thanks to the generosity of corporate sponsors, charitable foundations and individual donors, ORTOP is able to provide Team Support awards to reduce barriers to participation. The exact amount of this support varies according to how much funding we receive each season.

Schools and nonprofit organizations can apply for a team support award for their robotics team.
