Re: Attn. Michigan Teams: $2,000,000 FIRST Pledge Cancelled
FYI -
The grant process should be in place by next week. They will require an essay, similar to the NASA grant. Teams could apply for both with the same essays. There are 25 grants available at $6,000 for one year only at this point.
The grant covers only rookie teams. So, you MI veterans here on ChiefDelphi need to spread the word to schools without teams - I plan to contact Waterford tomorrow.
There's some kind of fund matching requirement, but as I gather, the match can be made with things of value other than cash, such as materials or mentor's man-hours. You should find that the man-hours alone, when accounted for, will exceed the requirement by at least a factor of ten.
Gail, I'm sure, will be filling in the details soon.
