| FTC Team Grants | Iowa is very fortunate to have great corporate sponsors to help support FTC teams.
More information about the FTC team grants can be found on the Iowa FTC Team grants webpage.
If you plan to apply for the Collins Aerospace, John Deere, BAE or FIRST Rookie grants, do not complete/pay the FIRST registration fee until the grant application has been awarded or declined. FIRST will not allow grants to be "regranted", or given directly to teams after the FIRST registration fee is paid. | | It is time to register with FIRST If you have heard from grants, or if your team is not applying for any team grants, please complete the team's FIRST registration. Information as to how to register with FIRST, and how to change the primary coach information, can be found on the Iowa FTC Registration page.
*IMPORTANT NOTE: If you are applying for, or waiting to hear from a grant, wait to complete the FIRST registration prior to completing FIRST Registration. "Completing the FIRST Registration" means paying the FIRST $295 Fee. Grants become void if the team pays the FIRST Registration fee. | Reminders Reminder #1: All teams need to have two adult coaches who need to review and complete the FIRST Consent & Release forms, which are on the FIRST Dashboard.
