The running of UKAYRoC and the cash prizes awarded to the top schools together with the winning prize of the visit to the USA finals is supported by the organisers and sponsorship from industry.
Sponsorship is at a flat rate per year with an additional opportunity for one of the sponsors to fund the winning team to attend the USA finals. As the number of sponsors increases, this will help to grow the event as additional resources can be utilised to promote the event.
As UKAYRoC runs Sept 2007-April 2008, potential sponsors have the ability to fund their contributions from either 2007 or 2008 budgets.
2007 UKAYRoC sponsors included:
§ Inmarsat
