We contact and solicit help from the sponsors to offset the cost of the systems in exchange for the ability to post open job positions and the awards provided serve a secondary marketing function. In essence, the sponsor is getting both a marketing value and a philanthropic value. We seek additional funding through grants, philanthropic organizations, and individuals to keep the expense to the school as low as possible.
While the average cost for an implementation runs approximately $20,000, most schools pay only about $5,000.
