BAE Grants 2014
 

We submitted a BAE Grant for 2014.
We have not heard anything yet.

Has anyone heard updates from BAE ?

Re: BAE Grants 2014
 

I remember last year the decisions were delayed. But they did send out an email with the decision and post a final team list. so...who knows

Re: BAE Grants 2014
 

I sent them an email about the timing and they told me within the next two weeks they will post this year's list of recipients. Good luck!

BAE is dispersing grants internally a little different this year, so its just a speed bump.

Hello...

I work for one of BAE Systems S2 (Support Solutions) divisions.
I'm also a mentor for team 1610. BAE has a web site for First
robotics although they don't update it often. its here....

You'll notice that it has the link for this years current application (for 2014)

you'll also notice it has this past years BAE teams list (2012-2013)
The past years team list wasn't fully shown (early this year it showed
some teams who got BAE grants, but not all ) and it didn't show all BAE teams
who got grants until well after this past years season ended.

I suppose they will update it when the new team list comes out.
One thing to keep in mind....while BAE has a somewhat standardized way of
handling the grants, the grants tend to be handled a little differently from
division to division depending mainly on the people who do this for that division of BAE.
(I work for S2's Ship Repair (in particular Norfolk Ship Repair)
and Ed Ketz oversees it there).

We were notified March 5, 2013 that we would not be receiving a 2013 grant. We chose not to apply this year.

Re: BAE Grants 2014
 

Must a team attend a BAE affiliated event to have a better chance at obtaining a grant?

Re: BAE Grants 2014
 

Joe,
I would assume that to be true.
Our Hawaii regional is a BAE regional, and via our local BAE Systems office in connection with NH, Hawaii teams have gotten support from them since the inaugural 2008 Hawaii regional.

We've averaged $1250-1500 annually as of late, but as high as 10k for 2008 when we won the RCA and for participating as a Hawaii team.:)

Re: BAE Grants 2014
 

Just another reason for us to come to your regional, right, Glenn?:D

Re: BAE Grants 2014
 

To team up?:rolleyes:
Sure!

I always think back to 2010 Arizona, when we had the chance......but, oh wells....

There is always the future.

Re: BAE Grants 2014
 

Has anyone heard any updates as of late? My team had applied for this year, but we never heard anything.

Re: BAE Grants 2014
 

We just now received notice that we have been awarded a grant for 2014. The amount is the same as last year, which as a 4th year team, we are more than happy with!

Thank you BAE Systems!

Re: BAE Grants 2014
 

We just heard from them as well and we are also now backed by BAE Systems. ::safety::

Re: BAE Grants 2014
 

We received notification that BAE will continue to support us this year with a grant.

Thank You BAE!

Received the email overnight as well. Thank you BAE!
