The funds don't actually arrive, they are credited to your "FIRST account". This basically means that you just don't pay for the competition (NASAs pays for you)

2) On the grant itself it asks for "Corporate/Mentoring Contact Information". Who can this be exactly? Can our primary contact also be the Mentor? Or is it specifically asking for a corporate sponsor that is mentoring? Can it be a individual that is mentoring without association with a company?
Lead mentor is just fine here. They need the main adult point of contact for the team.

3)We had our first team meeting last Thursday, and haven't lined up much in the way of big sponsors yet. Does that stop us from being able to apply for this grant?
Unless the form specifically says that you must demonstrate other funding sources (as it does for some of the other grants), then no it won't stop you.
