Re: NASA FRC Grants

Last year they were about two weeks late. I wouldn't hold out for tonight. They got posted/awarded around the 19th and 20th.

NASA can take all the time they need, I'm sure they have hundreds of entries. Fingers crossed that my team can finally get one..

Re: NASA FRC Grants

Yeah, I remember that, but I am hoping we do hear soon. Do you recall if FIRST delayed the payment deadline too?

No payment delay last year. You can read about what happened in these two threads.

Just noticed a status update on their website:

So that's a confirmed delay. Hopefully it won't take more than a couple of days.

Re: NASA FRC Grants

Last year they were delayed until the day before the entry fees were due. And FIRST delayed announcing the Rookie grant recipients too until after NASA announced their selections....

So don't get anxious if they are delayed.

I wouldn't get worried until they push it further than they did last year. And even then, it might take them longer.

Just curious.
We applied for Rocket City Challenge Grant but didnt receive it.
We werent sure if we had to sign up first, then apply for the grant or if it wasnt necessary.
What we didnt want happen to us again was signing up for an event, and then be told later they no longer were offering challenge grants at all after the announcement. i.e. New York Tech Valley 2016

They're already registered for Smoky Mountains. Rocket City is the same week (booo. Wish we could go again), so they have to drop SMR first.

No we did not sign up for Huntsville prior and also we put in the application that we would not attend if we did not receive the grant
