NASA Grant 2014

Hi,

My team is going to try for the NASA grant this year, but we're not sure we're eligible. We are a third year team, and we lost two of our major sponsors this year, so we're going to go for the Sustaining grant. However, we are a 4-H team and so we are not run directly out of a school, but the very first line of the grant says this:

FIRST Robotics Competition scholarships are limited to high school students who are involved or planning to get involved in school related robotics clubs or organizations.

Does that mean that we're not eligible? Are there any other 4-H teams out there (or other teams in a similar situation) who've been able to get a NASA grant?

Thank you for your input,
Carli
