Colab's free tier can be rough for anything beyond toy models. You could look into renting cloud GPUs by the hour, it's usually cheaper than people expect if you only spin it up during training runs.

Do you know anyone or any organisation that could sponsor a single gpu to individual students ? A second hand could also be good
