One university offers bursaries specifically designed to assist players with the purchase of their own instrument, and it is generally understood that these funds go to tuba players. Perhaps you could look into scholarship funds to assist your students in buying horns.

For a college player I would certainly not recommend a school horn and the YBB-641's are inconsistant. Especially if the students are performance majors! But even an education major will need his own horn when he leaves school. Better to get it in college when you're playing all the time and can get used to the instrument.
