One important thing to keep in mind when applying for the BAE Systems grant is that in the past there has been a requirement that you must attend a BAE Systems sponsored regional tournament (the purpose of the grant is to help offset registration fees). Exceptions are made to this rule (ie: if you have mentors from BAE Systems but live far away from a BAE Systems sponsored regional). It's still worth it to investigate in the summer in case the rules change. Good Luck!
