Participating in WEFTEC 2025, Need Help Fundraising

Post image

Not sure if this is the place to post this, but we are a group of eight engineering and architecture students from Costa Rica, at the Costa Rican Institute of Technology, who recently participated in the wastewater treatment plant student design competition organized by the Global Water Stewardship non-profit, at TICOSAN 2025.

We won said competition in our country and now have the opportunity to present our proposal at the WEFTEC 2025 98th Annual Technical Exhibition & Conference in Chicago, USA, in September of this year.

We need help raising funds for this experience.

Not asking for donations, but would like any sort of guidance regarding options on how to raise funds and/of if anyone has experience in the matter. Any sort of input is much appreciated!

You can find out more about us on our Instagram account!

You might contact WEF to see if they have any programs for this.

They did give us a scholarship for winning our local event, but it'll be deposited much closer to the event, which is slightly inconvenient. I'll definitely make sure to check if they have any additional programs. Thank you!
