I believe last year's grant only covered FTC team registration costs similar to this year's grant.

The grant application period was moved forward this year - and you are correct, it's due June 30th - for FLL, FTC & FRC.

If you want to be considered for a Boeing grant and have a Boeing mentor, make sure they apply by June 30th!!

Are you sure about the June 30th date to apply for the grant for the 2017 season? Or is that the last day to apply for the 2016 season...

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.
