thx in advance....

Kettering University gives away like 20-30 scholarships to FIRST students. We also hold an offseason competition (Kettering Kickoff) every September.
In addition, Team 70 (Auto City Bandits) is
supposed to be sponsored and mentored by KU, but I hear that now even though their shirts still say Kettering, Team 70 actually gets NOTHING from the school. I think this is a travesty, even with all of the rest of involvement the school has. (Incedently, I plan on having a talk with the Vice-President about this next week).
Also, My goal this semester is for Kettering to start a college network for FIRST alumni/mentors. Details to be worked out, again once I get back from Spring Break.
::Edit:: Sorry. Kettering is on the other list (Bachelor's and Master's Degrees, not PhD's.)
