Thanks very much for your replies. I understand the situation, and will send and inquiry email to them. I am expecting them to say what was said above but at least I will have heard it form the source.

Thanks again.

On behalf of Team 1729, I'd like to thank NASA for choosing to sponsor us this year! Their sponsorship has made a world of difference to us this year!

Dave: Can you post (or PM) physical addresses for NASA staffers so that we might send team thank you notes?

Bummed my old team couldn't make it to a regional to apply for the appropriate funding, but I remember taking the notice of our winning of the grant last year to our Administration and high-fiving. Writing the grant also helped me earn recognition for college admissions and among my peers and mentors.

NASA rocks. The North Carolina Regional Rocks. Congrats to all of the teams who get to compete thanks to NASA!

My question, is there a way to find out why your team was not selected? Is there somethign we did wrong? Forgive me if I missed this somewhere but I did not find any inofrmation for possible reasons for not being selected. I only ask so we can better ourselves and adapt or adjust for next year. I am sure $6500 is a big chunk of change in anyones budget... well at least most. It certainly hurt us.

Thanks for any comments of feedback.

You might be interested in reading this older post from one of the selection committee at that time (I think he's still involved with the selections, but am not sure).

Thank you to Dave and NASA and the entire team that makes these grants and EI sponsorships happen every year.

This support is a lifeline to many teams. Excellent.
