FRC GRANT-DECISION DAY 2016

[Travis Hoffman]

Waiting for matthewdenny's traditional late afternoon update post.

Does anyone know if there is any history of FIRST delaying the payment deadline due to grant info delays? I ask because money is very tight for our new team, and these grants (FRC Rookie and NASA) serve a large amount of rookie and developing teams.

I'm already in touch with my regional FIRST director, so I'm in contact with the right people, but I'm currently just wondering about historical precedent.

Of course, if the info gets released today, then this post is irrelevant, and please ignore it.

It will be posted today. I would not expect the news until after 5PM Eastern time. If you do not get a grant your regional director will work with you. You will just be blocked from KOP access until you have paid.

Thanks so much for the info! I haven't worked with these grants directly before, so I don't really have a baseline for how info is released/etc.
