But my impression is that they don't have extra funding for this—better would be to seek funding from your universities. Most have funding pools for students to attend these kinds of events.<div><br></div><div>Board is happy to write recommendation letters and the organizers of FCForum will certify attendance. You'd be surprised how easy it is to get funding for this kind of travel—take a look!</div><div><br></div><div>Going forward we're going to try and secure funding for the SFC organization.
