Our Sponsors
Your sponsorship provides Rice University students with the technical and leadership skills they need to succeed as engineers. The only two things holding us back are gravity and funding, and these partner organizations are helping us overcome those hurdles. Rice Eclipse is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, tax-exempt organization, so all donations to the team are tax-deductible.
