I have a suggestion. I assume you are an engineering student at MTU?
The college should have many conatcts with alumni and local companies
who they can out you in touch with. You should try to set up a meeting with
the Dean and see if he/she can help you out. Deans know lots of people with money!!
Tell the dean you are looking for support
and could he/she suggest individuals or companies to solicite for funding -- and could you help!
If you can get the dean really excited about FIRST, you could ask the dean to co-sign your letters.
If not the dean, talk to a professor. It helps to know someone inside the college who can put
you in touch with the right people.

Do you have a funding proposal prepared? I developed one that includes a cover letter, explanation of
FIRST, explanation of last year's game, info on our team and what we accomplsihed, a videotape,
a FIRST program and an expense report.

I'd be curious to know if you have tried this already. I wish you luck.
