I'm almost certain the program will continue. Talking to members of the FIRST organization (when our team was in Washington DC) made it clear how happy they were with the program. This was the opinion of everyone in FIRST I talked to about FVC, including Dean Kamen and John Abele (FIRST Chairman). I could be confusing who said this, but I believe it was John Abele, who said he saw this year as a large beta test of sorts for FVC. They liked what they saw for the most part, but that some tweaks were likely in order (I have no idea what those might be.) My overall impression is that not only will FVC be around next year - but that it will be even better.
