As suggested by Eric, read the section of the manual that pertains to this award, carefully. It's very important.

When a FIRST team competes for an award, the end result is usually one of achievement and accomplishment. The opportunity to be recognized by your peers is no small thing in FIRST. You may think that the size of the trophy or money is the result of winning and what matters. It goes deeper than that. You can't measure respect for a job well done by size or amount.

If you search through threads regarding this award over the past year or two, you will find discussions as to what to expect.

Don't forget about the wonderful scholarships that are available as well. Check out the FIRST website for information about those.
