Before you all ask me to search, I know there have been several posts asking such questions before. However, they're all kinda dated now, and I want current information.

As a bit of background, I recently joined team 830, in Ann Arbor, MI. We have several college student mentors from the University of Michigan, but we do not currently receive any funding or technical support from the University. I'm putting together a proposal to the University and/or the College of Engineering, in an attempt to raise money to attend the Championship this April. I'd like to get some information on other college-sponsored teams to add to my presentation. I figure if I can show how other universities sponsor FIRST in a major way, I can get at least a small commitment out of U-M.

So, my questions to all of you on college-sponsored teams (especially college students on those teams):

Which college or university sponsors your team?
What department or office at your university is your sponsor?
How much money do they give you (approximately)?
What other forms of support do they give you (technical, faculty, etc.)?
How long has your university been a sponsor?
How many college students are involved with your team?

Any other information or promotional materials you have would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
