Would Ant be okay to use? You don't have to demavenize a thing -- just add a build.xml to your project.
We converted many of our projects from Ant to Maven, but still have both the build.xml and pom.xml in the root directory. I even removed the third party jars from our repository. Instead, I added Ant's <get> task to the build.xml to fetch the needed jars. It is up to the tech leads to decide whether to use Maven or Ant in our continuous build process although more and more projects are now being built with Maven. Then again, installed Maven, set the settings.xml in the Maven directory, then tarred it up and pass it out to the students. It's pretty self contained. All they need to do is untar it somewhere, and put a link to the "mvn" script into their PATH. That will allow the students to learn Maven while they are at it. Might as well let your students learn how to use Maven now while their brains are still soft and moist rather than wait a few years after brain hardening has started to set in.
