I received university funding for research on the use of autonomous drones in wildfire mitigation here in Colorado. I initially reached out to a professor I knew to explain the idea then submitted an official proposal to the university. They reviewed it, sent me some forms to fill out and submit, then released funds. Your university likely has an undergraduate research department. Do a quick search and it'll lead you to contact information where you can inquire into the process.
