Re: Boeing as sponsor

Additional info from the internal Boeing wiki, which contains links to the application, FAQ, etc.:

Requirements
Must be a registered FIRST FRC team
See FIRST Web site for more details. If you do not already have a team number assigned by FIRST, you can preregister on the FIRST Web site. Here is the link you can pre-register at once the process has begun: FIRST Pre-Registration https://my.usfirst.org/frc/tims/.

Team must contain a Boeing mentor
A Boeing mentor is defined for this purpose as a Boeing employee (full-time, part-time or retired) who contributes time and expertise to a FIRST team. This mentor also agrees to provided information about the team and its accomplishments to Boeing as requested. Contract employees are currently not eligible.

Organizational backing
School teams must have the commitment of a school and teacher for guidance and support of the team. Homeschool teams, scout groups, and other associations are also eligible as long as they meet FIRST's criteria for a team.

Use of funds
The FIRST@Boeing grant is to be used only to cover the entry into a regional championship which includes the kit of parts. Boeing will distribute the funds directly to FIRST. No funds will be distributed directly to teams.

Application Process
In order to apply, you will need to fill out and submit the Application by September 15th. It is important that you fill out this application fully. Boeing's goal is to support as many qualified teams as possible, however funds may be limited. If more teams apply than available funds, information on the application may be used to select the teams that will receive a Boeing grant. If you have any questions, please contact one of the focals listed on the Focal List.

Teams will be notified by October 15th whether their application has been approved. By October 26th, approved teams will receive a commitment letter which can be used to indicate to FIRST that your team's entry fee will be paid by Boeing. Boeing will be sending FIRST a list of teams supported, but it is also strongly recommended that you send this commitment letter by the December 5th deadline for payment to indicate your fee has been covered. Your team will receive the kit of parts from FIRST when they distribute them in January.

Additional Information
Please explore the various links on the menu to learn more about FIRST. Two key resources if you have questions are the FAQs and Focal List.
