One of the most difficult problems that we run into with college students is funding their transportation to events. Let's face it, most college students are not rolling in extra cash, nor do they have the time to do fundraising.

What solutions have your members found for this problem?

There might not be a perfect solution for this... Like me, for example, probably won't be going to Florida next year because I won't have any money for it.

But nothing is certain this far away... I already talked to another team who's willing to find me cheap tickets and let me stay in their hotel room...

So, since SCF is probably a non-profitable organization, the most we can do is help out by getting cheaper rates like Jessica suggested, or contact teams near the college students and see if they have some extra room for going to events, or if they have extra money to sponsor an airplane ticket...

Maybe we will be able to start a drive to get college students to National...

This is one of those thing we need help in...
