Our Boosters will fundraise and help pay for those who are unable to travel for financial reasons and will pay their fees.
Our only limitation is academic and schedule conflict.

While it would certainly cut down on stress of fundraising a whole lot by making each student pay their own travel costs, I would imagine a quarter of the students at most would be able to actually afford it given the financial background of the area and the students of the school. As a result, the travel expenses have to come from the team's funding and so the list is needed because we wouldn't be able to take everyone. Just one of those situational circumstances. Again though, if the students want to go on trips, they will earn their way to the top of our requirements list.
