Do you know if there are more recent news ?

This is the last update I received on Nov 6, 2012

"FIRST Teams,

Your BAE Systems FIRST Robotics Grant has been received and is under review. To ensure that we can best utilize available funding and support as many teams as possible we are waiting for final approval of the 2013 fiscal year budget before committing specific funds to teams. We do expect approval during the month of November and hope to have final grant announcements ready in the early December time frame. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we strive to provide the maximum amount of support possible to FIRST teams.

Sincerely,

The BAE Systems Grant Team"

We just received notice of a BAE grant award for our team late yesterday or early this morning.
Notice came via an email to the grant submitter (booster member).

P.S.
It doesn't show up in TIMS yet.

Very Cool !. What is your team number ?
Congratulations Mark McLeod !. Did you get the same amount as last time or is this first time the team applied for the grant ?

Cheers,
Mark.

This grant was for team 358.
This is our third year receiving it, for the same amount.
Although, during our first year receiving the BAE grant there were several extensions that tripled the final amount, including a scholarship to one of our students.
