The Allaire Medal
From FIRSTwiki
The Chairman's Award is presented at the Championship to the FIRST team judged to have the best
partnership effort. The Allaire Medal recognizes leadership exemplified, and is awarded to an individual
student on the winning Chairman's Award team.
Named in honor of Paul A. Allaire, a long-serving FIRST Chairman of the Board, the Allaire Medal is given
to the student who has demonstrated outstanding leadership on his/her FIRST team, within his/her school and
community, and whose personal character best embodies the spirit of FIRST.
The team receiving The Chairman's Award at the Championship will select the Allaire Medal recipient. The
adult and student team members determine the winner. The recipient must be a high school junior or senior
who has been accepted into a four-year degree program at a college or university. The Allaire Medalist
receives the Allaire medallion and up to $10,000 in total scholarship support for undergraduate tuition, room
and board, fees, and books at his or her intended university or college.
In 2006, the Chairman's Award and the Paul Allaire Medal was awarded to a student on the Wildstand Robotics Team, Rolling Meadows, IL sponsored by Motorola
