I'm interested though, do students on your team have other financial requirements and would assistance be offered for that as well? I am curious about how other teams handle payments and their funds.
We don't have any other financial requirements like a participation . It is asked that you purchase a t-shirt if you plan on attending a competition - but it's not required. Either way our team funds allow us to significantly subsidize them (almost $25 per t-shirt to net $0 for the club sold for $10).

Even competitions never cost money to benefit the team. Say we go to NYC Regional, you'd be required to pay for the train tickets (they are reduced because of a group package and if you still can't afford them the school helps out). Also you are told to bring money to buy food at the location (or bring your own). I don't think the school reimburses food, but I'm sure if you really need them to you'd be able to work something out (or a mentor/peer/student's parent would help out if necessary).

Other offseason competitions (as long as they are school affiliated) the school gives us buses - so no transportation cost to worry about.

Overall, if you really can't afford any part of a trip, the school will work it out with you and a student by student basis.
