$500 Action Challenge Grants

Grants worth up to $500 are available to schools participating in a Fluid Power Action Challenge and hands-on fluid power education. Grant awards must be used for costs directly related to the educational aspects of the Challenge program. 

Please reach out to Joe Zwier at NFPA with any questions.  
Action Challenge Inspires Students
Action Challenges throughout the country are bringing students together to learn about fluid power, often for the first time!  Over the last month, two schools who participated in Action Challenges offered their insights into what the challenge meant to their students.
 
"Challenge day was a culmination of all the content and skills learned and developed during the STEM week. What a joy to see smiles and confidence on our students’ faces after the Challenge competition was completed... Trust and affirmation of approval were expressed by parents along with expectations to continue opportunities for their children to participate in programs that foster higher-ordered and critical thinking skills, teamwork and other behavior skills, and lastly personal skills such as self-confidence." 
- Alison Maier, TLCS STEM Week Facilitator 

"In my opinion, this "adventure" was more than a success, but a start point for greater things. This program has opened everyone's eyes as to what can be offered and obtained to and by our youth. I look forward to seeing all your program offers moving forward."
- Robert Bautista, Trinity Lutheran Christian School
