But on the meantime, as Robomom has stated try to contact your local SWE chapter and see what they can do. They usually work with the local universities. And you can contact the local colleges and see if the engineering college can help.

In addition you can try to contact your State Commission on the
status of women. In NH, they at times give money out.
However, that may take a lot more time than you have to pull this all together. Contact your local FIRST Senior Mentor or Regional Director to see if they have any rescources already pooled for such things that they could authorize right away. They'll already be familiar with WIST so you won't have to waste time selling it to them. How many RCU memebers from NY want to go?

p.s. If you want to check out Boston on you're way back... Let me know. I too plan on being at WIST.
