If it's the same as in past seasons, both NASA grants and FRC Rookie grants are restricted to being used for initial registration only (up until this year Boeing grants were also restricted in that manner). So a team who received more than one of these grants would only be able to use one and have to decline the others.
Thus, FRC tries to award rookie grants to teams who did not receive the NASA grants so they don't go unused.
