Google organizes these Summer of Code events every year and GNU has been
accepted as a mentor organization a couple of times in the past.  This
means that GNU can submit project proposals and have students apply for
them.

The number of project slots is limited and not every student is eligible
to participate in the Summer of Code, so I don’t think it is a suitable
path for the school collaboration you envision. 

These project ideas were collected for the Summer of Code, but they are
interesting projects that can be worked on outside of this context.
Unfortunately, this means that other funding avenue (if any) would have
to be found.
