College-sponsored teams

College Student on team #639, Red B^2, from Ithaca High School and Cornell University.



Have any college teams out there (besides 190) actually been successful in getting a significant amount of funding from their college? If so, from what department(s)? I have been meeting with people non stop for the last year... I've been through every department, and whenever funding comes up, it's just a referral to someone else I should contact. Today, I am referred right back by the admissions office to the very first person I talked to at the beginning of the year. They claim (even though they get $30000 per year per 16000 students, not to mention that is only a small fraction of the money they get from alumni) they could only give us about two or three HUNDRED dollars... Oh, but they would be more than happy for us to put their name on our team and go to the competitions and recruit students.

I'm sure some of the other people who have tried to start teams have had similar trouble... Anyone have any suggestions, keeping in mind there are no potential corporate sponsors in the area?
