**How do we start an FLL team?** | **How do we start an FLL team?** |
Deborah Hensley is the Business Manager at the Southwest Virginia Higher Education Center and can provide you more information on funding, sponsorships, and organizing a FLL team. Her email is: DHensley@swcenter.edu. FLL has changed the process for registering teams in their system. Each team has to have two coaches when the team is registered. Each coach has to have a background check done. The process is very simple for the background investigation. SWVaHEdCtr is no longer able to do the registration for the teams. Here is a link that has more information regarding registration. **https://my.usfirst.org/fll/tims/site.lasso** The teams can just be a group of friends that want to get started. They do not need to be associated with any school or particular organization. | Deborah Hensley is the Business Manager at the Southwest Virginia Higher Education Center and can provide you more information on funding, sponsorships, and organizing a FLL team.

The Washington County Community Scholars program offers 2 free years to VHCC for a qualifying high school student that has participated in the program 9-12 grades. Ask your guidance department for details. Also, this online university offers a degree in Computer Science for any qualified adult. http://uopeople.edu/groups/coureses/computer_science. Although UoPeople is tuition-free, it is not completely free. All they ask from their students is to pay an application processing fee of $50 and Exam Processing Fees, which are $100 per exam. For students who are unable to pay this amount, UoPeople has a variety of scholarship programs designed to meet the unique needs of the students. |
