The requirements are listed on the application page. I imagine that someone will be emailing the coaches with the specifics (how to turn things in), but you might want to get on that Chairman’s submission before the season starts to knock at least one thing out of the way!

We received an email saying we were awarded the grant. That’s all I know. Sorry
Even more important than chairman’s right now is that all students have to fill out a survey BEFORE KICKOFF. They will also have to complete one after, but the one before is a bit of a tune crunch now.
I would like to point out that the team doesn’t have to actually submit or present the Chairman’s award for a competition/to First, only to NASA:
- Sponsored teams MUST COMPLETE and submit an annual report (aka Chairman’s Award) to NASA.
All NASA sponsored teams have similar requirements, and we opted out of presenting Chairman’s at our last few competitions due to a lack of man/willpower.

Right - but the same material is required, as I understand (and rookie teams aren’t allowed to present Chairman’s at an event, anyway).

Correct, and they’re usually more lenient with those deadlines, if you find your team in that position.

How did they fix this for you? Our team received the grant this year after our money had already been spent on registration fees. We could use it towards the world championship if we qualify, but that isn’t a a guarantee.

Call FIRST and talk to them. They can move funds around for you and even send a refund check if a grant is designated to pay registration that you have already paid with a check. They have done that for us in the past.

The same happened with 3946 a few years ago. IIRC It took a month or so, but we did get the funds back.

Alternatively you can request a “regrant” through the FIRST dashboard and use those funds for next year’s registration.
