Athletics

Investing in the future of a student-athlete ensures that every one of USI's student-athletes receives an exceptional academic and athletic opportunity during his or her four years of eligibility.

Screaming Eagles Varsity Club
The USI Varsity Club knows every athletic championship begins with scholarships. To recruit and graduate the highest caliber student athletes for USI intercollegiate sports, scholarship funds must be available. 100% of the gifts received from individuals to join the USI Varsity club go directly to athletic scholarships. The club's primary goal - in partnership with the University - is to fully fund scholarships between what USI is legally allowed to award by the NCAA and its actual capacity to do so.

Direct Support to 19 Varsity Division I Teams
Alumni, friends and fans of USI Athletics can also make a gift to any of the athletic programs sponsored by USI. Gifts support the development of excellence in USI intercollegiate athletics by providing team travel, uniforms, lodging, equipment and recruiting.  

"My favorite and most challenging journey at USI is being a student athlete. My teammates and I would not be where we are today without your encouragement and generosity. Although USI has built an environment to succeed in both academics and athletics, it all begins with you. It is my great honor to invite your continued investment to help build skills in other student athletes and allow them the opportunity to excel far past their years in a jersey."
