Travel & lodging
Getting a team of eight to regional and national competition sites is our single largest cost.
Partner with a nationally competitive team
The Cyber Competition Club sends St. Cloud State students to CCDC, DoE CyberForce, and the National Cyber League every year — on a student budget. Sponsorship keeps us competitive and gives your organization a direct line to talented student defenders.
Where the money goes
Your support pays for competition, not overhead
Registration fees
Entry fees for CCDC, CyberForce, NCL, and open CTFs across the year.
Lab hardware & cloud
Servers, networking gear, and cloud credits for the practice range we train on every week.
Certifications
Helping members offset the cost of industry certifications tied to competition skills.
Team kit
Jerseys and travel gear so we show up looking like the program we are.
Hosting student events
Running workshops and a local CTF that bring new students into cybersecurity.
