Pointers for filling out a NASA grant?

[Chris Fultz]

Please note that in addition to your application we will need the following supplemental documentation by Tuesday, October 27, 2009, 23:59:59 EDT:

We must receive an email from your accredited educational sponsor (school or other educational entity) endorsing the team's desire to apply for funding, confirming the educational sponsor's commitment to the team, and agreeing to the conditions of sponsorship. This email must also meet the following requirements:

1. Be sent to ARC-FRC-Reqs@mail.nasa.gov
2. Originate from the official email account of the educational sponsor (Principal, Assistant Principal, or equivalent)
3. Include both the team number and name of school in the subject line of the email

If you have any questions about this requirement, please contact us at ARC-FRC-Grants@mail.nasa.gov.

This is a critical step and is due by next Tuesday. Without this, your application will not be reviewed.

Also, take a look at the application because there is some demographic data that you will need to get from the school(s). It might take some time to get that, so you should start quickly.

And, be sure you select the right grant that you are qualified for. A team a few years ago checked a box they were not eligible for and it removed them from consideration.
