Paid FIRST alum summer internships

[lovelj]

To add a little more detail, the goal is to start a formal FIRST program that makes it easy for companies to hire FIRST alums for college internships. This will compliment existing programs that a few large companies have already started. To kick start it, we have two agencies willing to pay for this year, committing between $500K and $1.5M. The student is free to the company. My concern is the short fuse, placing students this summer. This is why I'm reaching out to this community.

I need to fast track this, find students and companies immediately.
