BAE Grants 2014

[Gary Dillard]

We were notified March 5, 2013 that we would not be receiving a 2013 grant. We chose not to apply this year.

Must a team attend a BAE affiliated event to have a better chance at obtaining a grant?

Joe,
I would assume that to be true.
Our Hawaii regional is a BAE regional, and via our local BAE Systems office in connection with NH, Hawaii teams have gotten support from them since the inaugural 2008 Hawaii regional.

We've averaged $1250-1500 annually as of late, but as high as 10k for 2008 when we won the RCA and for participating as a Hawaii team.

Just another reason for us to come to your regional, right, Glenn?

To team up?
Sure!

I always think back to 2010 Arizona, when we had the chance......but, oh wells....

There is always the future.

Has anyone heard any updates as of late? My team had applied for this year, but we never heard anything.

[Abrakadabra]

We just now received notice that we have been awarded a grant for 2014. The amount is the same as last year, which as a 4th year team, we are more than happy with!

Thank you BAE Systems!

[Robo Hamsters]

We just heard from them as well and we are also now backed by BAE Systems.

[Mark McLeod]

We received notification that BAE will continue to support us this year with a grant.

Thank You BAE!

[Phyrxes]

Received the email overnight as well. Thank you BAE!

I didn't even know there was a grant for BAE systems. I didn't take part in much fundraising back on MAiken Magic either. I though we were a BAE team because we literally a stones throw away from their local Defense plant. Interesting stuff to see.

[Coach Norm]

2468 is very appreciative of being recipients for the third year in a row of a BAE grant.
