I'm fairly certain this is the application due date for the 2017 season. Better get moving.

This might include the initial event registration (Regional event or District event), additional regional or district events, District Championships, or World Championship.

I want to thank the folks at Boeing for allowing these funds to be applied towards any FRC event registration. This really opens new opportunities for our team!

If our team does not have a Boeing connection, is there still a way to apply before the very close deadline?

Based on my read of the thread, I am fairly certain there is not. All of the references to the online application say that it is an internal Boeing form for employees only. Although someone who is more familiar (a Boeing employe or grant recipient team) would probably have a more definitive answer.

Drat. I was hoping that wasn't the case. Thank you!

A current Boeing employee or retired employee that mentors your team is required to apply.

If you don't have a Boeing employee (or retiree) that mentors your team, contact your area FIRST representative. They may know of other Boeing Funds that get used for teams.
