Landmark College
Information
Amount: $90,000

Landmark College is exclusively for students who learn differently, including students with a learning disability (such as dyslexia), ADHD, or autism spectrum disorder (ASD). We champion a strengths-based model and give students the skills and strategies they need to achieve their goals.

Access to Innovative Education in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (AIE-STEM) Scholarship Program

Landmark College’s Access to Innovative Education in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Scholarship Program (AIE-STEM) aims to increase access to education and career for academically talented and financially disadvantaged students pursing life sciences or computer science. Scholars work closely with dedicated faculty members who provide active mentoring and academic assistance for the scholars to maximize their chances for academic and career success.

The scholarships are funded by a grant from the National Science Foundation’s Scholarships in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics program (NSF S-STEM). Participants in good standing will be awarded the AIE-STEM scholarship each semester (up to $5,000 per semester) until graduation. Through intensive faculty mentoring, scholarship recipients will be encouraged to pursue further study or careers in STEM upon graduation. High school students and current Landmark students, including transfer students, are encouraged to apply. These scholarships are available only for Landmark College students and only during the regular academic year. Visit the link for full scholarship requirements.

2025-2026 Signature Event Updates

  2. Signature Events must use the officially branded award banners for the Excellence Award and Tournament/Teamwork Champions Award.
  3. When hanging field skirts the VEX Robotics logo/brand name can not be covered up on the competition fields.
  4. VEX V5 Robotics Competition Signature Events may have regional capacity and max per organization restrictions lifted 8 weeks before the event if the event is not full (similar to the process already in place for VEX IQ Robotics Competition Signature Events).
  5. Minimum pit size reduced to 8’x 8’ instead of 10’x10’.
  6. Beginning in the 2025-2026 season, the REC Foundation will collect $10 instead of $5 per team registration on all Signature Events. This is to help offset travel costs for REC Foundation staff to support these larger events.
