2025-2026 Signature Event Updates An Event Partner wanting to apply to host a Signature Event must have hosted events for at least 2 seasons prior to applying. Signature Events must use the officially branded award banners for the Excellence Award and Tournament/Teamwork Champions Award. When hanging field skirts the VEX Robotics logo/brand name can not be covered up on the competition fields.
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). Minimum pit size reduced to 8’x 8’ instead of 10’x10’.
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.

The May 21, 2026 joint announcement from the Department of Education and the Department of Labor restructured the Strengthening Institutions Program as a workforce-and-AI vehicle funded with dollars reallocated from discontinued Minority-Serving Institution programs. The new SIP rewards short-term credential pathways, responsible AI integration, and alignment with the Workforce Pell launch — a sharp turn that changes which institutions win.
Read articleDOL and ED announced May 21 a one-time, $366 million Title III SIP competition — more than triple the $102 million Congress appropriated — by folding reallocated Minority-Serving Institutions and Hispanic-Serving Institutions funds into a single pool. Here is what every eligible college needs to know about the three competitive preferences, the workforce Pell connection, and how to position by June 23.
Read articleFederal appropriators added $15 billion in new Pell Grant funding to the FY 2026 appropriations package on top of the standard appropriation level — a response to a structural shortfall that CBO scored at $5.4 billion in FY 2026 and $11.5 billion in FY 2027. The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget projects a cumulative gap of $61 billion to $97 billion through 2035 even after the one-time fix. Meanwhile, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act expanded eligibility to short-term Workforce Pell programs, adding $2 to $6 billion in new costs. The Pell program is the foundation of need-based federal student aid, but the structural mismatch between rising costs and appropriations is a permanent feature now.
