Key High School Scholarship Program

The Fluid Power Educational Foundation has initiated a plan to designate deserving high schools as Key High Schools. There will be funds made available for scholarships for graduating seniors who have successfully completed two years of courses in a systems engineering, engineering technology or robotics program. These courses are to include hydraulics, pneumatics, electrical, and mechanical power transmission and control.

The scholarship funds may be used for payment of tuition, fees, books or other costs directly attributed to enrolling in an Engineering or Engineering Technology program at a post-secondary school.
