Is any teams still awaiting for a grant result before ?

I talked to a Boeing mentor on another team who received the grant last year. He mentioned that Boeing actually announced the grants after the FIRST payment deadline. Their team just sent an email requesting to submit the payment after the Boeing Grant was announced. FIRST responded to allow the later payment. Just to cover your bases, you might want to send that email to make sure you can wait for the grant. It didn't sound like a big deal when the other team requested a later payment as many teams were in the same boat.

The way I understand it, FIRST and BOEING are in communication with each other so teams that receive a BOEING grant are funded by the deadline.

It has worked successfully for us for the last 3 years, although last year was a nail biter right down to the payment deadline.

Relax and let the process work.
