I was half regretting doing last years startup school (as opposed to this one) -_-

At the same time, those AWS credits went a long way for me -- I'm sure that grant could go very far for others. Kudos for doing it!

Honestly, the most valuable aspect of startup school is the feedback from your peers. Half of my group I still stay in contact with (even intro'd them to a few customers). I guess, it's similar to YC; the networking effects.

I do think the money would be better upfront, as opposed to at the end. However, I guess there's no bar on entry and it's "free" so, I can see the reason to wait.
