The base cost for an FTC team is about $2,000/yr (registration, KOP, one competition registration, robot parts), and for an FRC team about $7,000.

The grant is worded such that only a max of $2,500 will come from that $250,000 pool. The bill specifies that the school must match the governments number. From the amendment memo:

My bad. Reread and the grant still provides $5,000. The team just must be able to prove it can also provide $5,000 through other means. NASA Rookie Sponsorship should make this easy for rookie teams.

Instead of $500,000 over two years, the amendment appropriates $250,000 for one year.
Under the amendment, to be eligible to receive a grant, an applicant must demonstrate that the
applicant will provide matching funds.
