Does your team charge a fee to join?

[Jacob Bendicksen]

Our school's development office is quite paranoid about us talking to potential donors that they also have their eye on (which seems to comprise most people/businesses with money in Oregon), so we're pretty limited in how we can fundraise. Because of this, we need to charge $350 to compete in the spring season, and students also need to cover their portion of travel costs. However, if this is a hardship, financial aid is available for the membership fee and travel costs, and the school kicks in quite a bit if we make it to St. Louis.
