The NFPA Fluid Power Grant supports fluid power education at middle schools, high schools, and community organizations by funding classroom materials, access to hands-on programs such as the NFPA Fluid Power Action Challenge, and travel to member facility tours. Together, these efforts help students and educators explore the industry and related careers.
In this 2025-26 academic year, 37 schools and community organizations received $17,237 in grants, enabling 1,815 students to participate in fluid power educational programs. Members, this grant is funded by you and by the annual NFPA Education and Technology Foundation Golf Fundraisers held during the Industry & Economic Outlook Conference (IEOC) and Annual Conference. Thank you for your continued support; we are grateful for your time, resources, and commitment to fluid power education and career exploration.
