For the first round, only new teams can apply, but in subsequent rounds, anyone can apply for the grant money. HOWEVER, when they received my school's application, we were sent an email that said that the grant money was for public schools only. We worked for about three days on that application, and nowhere did it say that it was for public schools only. We're going to try and fight this, because at this point we don't have even the entrance fee in confirmed funding yet.
