I'm wondering, does anybody have a connection to an international company, like cocacola or mcdonalds or something? Maybe even a company that wants to help out with FIRST but has little connection to the engineering world? (by that i mean they dont hire engineers directly, cause everybody is connected to the engineering world)
There are many big companies up there. My dad was up there working on a nuclear reactor or something, they were building it. Supposedly it is a huge company and a company of that nature is always in need of engineers. Look around in unlikly places. Look @ the nuclear/manufacturing companies. Car companies? Food companies? Private donations? You technically don't need to look local though. E-mail coke or mcdonalds. Send a letter to NBC, ABC, etc... *shrug* Be creative, good luck!
