Or, if $300 is too high, how about getting a couple of high school kids to do it for half that? Their 99EU ($144) high altitude balloon is a great achievement in engineering, science, cost reduction, and learning.
Their hardware specs are, alas, not in the article, but some MIT students replicated their work at the same $150 price point.
