There was, briefly, a student organization (of which I was never an official member, ironically, though several of my friends and co-mentors were) at the University of Maryland that existed for the purpose of providing mentorship to local FRC teams.

Unfortunately, there was never much support - from FIRST or from the university - and it died after two years.
