MIT is a sponsor of team 97, though i'm not sure how involved they are.

Columbia University's Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Sciences has an underground FIRST program completely run by students supporting several FIRST and FLL Teams. We're still working on getting recognition and offering scholarships to FIRST students.

Well, I know for a fact that WPI, which was ranked as the #51 Undergraduate Engineering Program, directly sponsors one team, and has been responsable for starting over a half-dozen others.

WPI also offers two full-tuition scholarships every year, each valued at over $100,000.
