Re: NASA Grant for 2013 FRC?
 

We were told recently that teams are not eligible to receive both the NASA grant and a grant from Boeing. I can not recall if this has been true in the past.

Did anyone else near a Boeing facility outside of Washington hear the same?

Our registration choice was influenced somewhat by an expectation that regional challenge grants would be available for the new Central Washington regional, but if we're only eligible for one grant or the other, well -- :/

Re: NASA Grant for 2013 FRC?
 

I also just got a response back from NASA regarding the TBD regional. Basically they said to keep checking their website for updates.

Re: NASA Grant for 2013 FRC?
 

I'd personally like to see more events sponsored over a wider geographical range, with fewer sponsorships per event, but again, who knows what constraints guide these Regional Challenge allotments?

Re: NASA Grant for 2013 FRC?
 

In the past, you have not been able to receive both a NASA grant AND a Boeing grant. I don't think that has changed this year.

Re: NASA Grant for 2013 FRC?
 

The "TBD" regional for the Regional Challenge grant has now been removed from the application pages. Looks like it's just NC, Utah, and South Florida.

Good to know. Thanks Travis!

Re: NASA Grant for 2013 FRC?
 

I can confirm that this has been the case ever since the Boeing grants have started. The objective is to cover the entry fee of as many teams as possible, so Boeing waits to see which teams receive the entry fee NASA grants first before awarding any of their grants.

Re: NASA Grant for 2013 FRC?
 

Can you please tell me where I can find the Boeing Grant Information. Our team recently lost our main coorporate sponsor which was 70% of our operating budget. We were told that they are allocating their charitable funds at the coorportae level. We are scrammbling to keep the team affloat. We have submitted grants to NASA, PTC and BAE. If anyone has the Boeing information can you please forward itto me.

Re: NASA Grant for 2013 FRC?
 

The majority of the grants Boeing distributes requires that a Boeing mentor be involved with the team. The Boeing mentor is responsible for applying for the grant (Due October 22nd of this year.)

There are some grants given to underserved / under-resourced schools with teams, I would try contacting FIRST for more information on those as I don't think Boeing specifies those schools.

Re: NASA Grant for 2013 FRC?
 

Our team now plans to attend the Utah regional if we get the NASA grant.
What we didnt realize is that the regional grant does not cover all the new regionals for this season. With scheduling, Utah is our only option should we receive it, I hope.

Re: NASA Grant for 2013 FRC?
 

Ditto, Glenn. Hope NASA can help both our teams join the fun in Utah:D And maybe for a change the elimination planets finally align in such a way we join forces...

Re: NASA Grant for 2013 FRC?
 

Reminder: The NASA grant is due soon (tomorrow)!

Re: NASA Grant for 2013 FRC?
 

Both of us getting the NASA grant is definitely a step in that right direction.
