Getting funding for college clubs can be pretty difficult but not impossible. Besides the usual asking companies for funding/sponsorship, one thing I've found to be very successful is to ask for parts instead of actual money. For example, if you need electronics or motors, ask the actual company that makes them if they would be willing to donate the parts as a sponsor. Companies are more open to this since the actual project is using their parts instead of the team spending money on something else. Having actual parts donated also makes dealing with school administration easier as I have found they care less about donations and how they are used if it doesn't involve money.*

*This changes depending on the school's administration.
