Does Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) Sponsor FIRST?
 

I am helping to put the Glenbard East team, in Lombard Illinois together and I would like to know if IIT (Illinois Institute of Technology) sponsors or funds any teams.

I am planning on contacting IIT to see if they could supply my team with funds or mentors so it would be better to know whether or not they are involved yet.

And also, if there is any companies that are willing to sponsor an up and coming team (specially if they are in the Chicagoland area).

Thank you very much,

Jessica *S.Vendetta*

I think you are confusing ITT[ITT Technical Institute] and IIT [Illinois Institute of Technology] Stuart. But can you confirm if you meant IIT or ITT? Thanks.

Re: Does IIT Sponsor FIRST?
 

yeah sorry I meant ITT[ITT Technical Institute] not IIT. [Illinois Institute of Technology]

guess it helps to read carefully.

Thank you all so much for any information you may have given me!
