Aldernating Current Applies For $15,000 in Grants

In the last month, Lead Mentor and 4-H Head Clover Alan Walker PE applied for two grants: $4100 from FIRST Washington (formerly called Washington FIRST Robotics), and $5000 from The Community Foundation of South Puget Sound.  This week Pat Cusack, Career Tech Education Director of Shelton School District, is applying for a $6000 i-Grant from the Washington State Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) to benefit robotics at Shelton High School.

The Community Foundation of South Puget Sound awarded Aldernating Current $5000 the last two years. Their support helped attract $10,000 from the Career Technical Education department at Shelton School District last year.  These funds were primarily used to buy robot parts and tools.

OSPI awarded Aldernating Current $5670 last year and $4900 the year before. Funds help pay the FIRST entry fee.

FIRST Washington awarded Aldernating Current $2000 last year and recruited a $500 donation from F5 Networks.

Last year Green Diamond Resource Company awarded Aldernating Current a $2000 two-year grant.
