Please check that your team has been included on your district’s MDE FIRST Robotics State Grant Application. This sheet will be updated later today as well as twice tomorrow (morning and afternoon): MDE Grant Application Status as of 11/07.
It’s not enough to be marked ‘in process.” By midnight on Thursday, your district’s application must be “submitted”. The MDE is super strict on everything this year so be sure to get your grant in on time. The cutoff date is the cutoff date!
Teams must be registered for the 2018-2019 season in order to be considered for the grant award i.e. the $275 FIRST FTC season registration fee is paid.|
There are two required attachments: the spending plan and the team roster. The roster must be attached but can be modified later. Both can be found on http://www.techplan.org/
The GRANTS page of the FIRST in Michigan website (right sidebar) also has the MDE applicant list as well as the Step By Step Guide which outlines the procedures for applying for this grant including all required information and documentation.
Any issues with the accessing the MEGS+ grant, please reach out to the Amanda Stoel with the MDE: Amanda Stoel, 517-241-3629, StoelA@michigan.gov. Remember the MDE offices close at 5pm.
