No matter what you do you always have to give your school credit even if they don't give you money. Because w/ all the budget cuts its hard to find money anywhere. Even if all they give you is a Dean's Excuse so you can skip school for the competitions they are still a mentor and deserve to have there name as one of your sponsors. Also it will help if they ever do get money so you can tell them they officially sponsor you and you need cash.
I do agree with the others though get started NOW!!! The only reason team 1011 was able to get off the ground this year was because of some major scrambling from everyone to get money. If you can get a HS dedicated before summer they then can go out and look for sponsorship this summer. Also when picking a HS be sure to pick one close to ur campus if u dont have a car cause otherwise it'll get difficult.
