Perhaps you can find out more about this. I don't believe anyone here is really interested in any for-profit endeavors - I think most are just looking for cheaper ways to learn. It might be interesting to be able to submit designs, have you machine them and simply have them sent to hobbyist testers (of which there are a few here) who could then publish and relay their data back to the block designer. The block could then head back to the school for exhibition purposes. This may be something the school would be comfortable with.
The end result would be that the block designer would have a better understanding of the real performance data of his conceptual blocks and could then be more comfortable about spending the money on professional machining.
In any case, be sure to seek out the advice of the members here on any designs that you may have in mind. Regardless of how little a grasp you have on the concept of waterblock design, everyone here is excessively helpful, often times providing information and equations that most people simply could never understand (myself included). Also check out the block reviews here and Lee's reviews at SystemCooling, as he often provides some valuable dimensional data on the parts he reviews.
