President Philomena V. Mantella awarded scholarships to two high school seniors at the FIRST Robotics district competition held March 26 at the Fieldhouse on the Allendale Campus.
Jordan Gabrielse, from South Christian High School, and Adam Kroese, from East Grand Rapids High School, have been accepted at Grand Valley and expressed interest in pursuing engineering. Both students have been actively involved in FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) Robotics throughout middle and high school.
Nearly 40 teams from across Michigan competed in the three-day event. It was the first in-person FIRST Robotics competition at GVSU since 2019.
The team from Fremont finished in first place, followed by Allendale and Zeeland. Full results and other awards are listed online. Winning teams advance to the state championship in Saginaw April 13-16.
