Why Should I Contribute to the
Saluki Athletic Scholarship Fund?
STUDENT ATHLETES NEED YOUR SUPPORT
As a donor, you will feel the pride and satisfaction in providing a student-athlete with a quality education and the foundation for a successful life. Our student-athletes carry a heavy load between academics and athletics. Thanks to members of the Saluki Athletic Scholarship Fund (SASF), we can help lighten this load financially and prepare them for life after graduation. We make the dream of excellence in sports and academics a reality.
THE COSTS OF COMPETING ON THE NATIONAL LEVEL
Saluki Athletics is currently engaged in a $23-million comprehensive campaign as part of the $100-million campaign for SIU. A large component of this campaign depends on increasing annual support, which will enable our intercollegiate athletics program to meet the ever-increasing challenge of providing scholarship support for our 350 deserving student-athletes. Our goal during this campaign is to increase annual fund raising enough to offset scholarship costs. Your gift will create opportunity through excellence for our student-athletes.

In addition to the enjoyment of supporting Southern Illinois University with your financial assistance, you will recive the unique and valuable benefits available only to SASF members. By joining, you will receive regular and postseason ticket priority, parking privileges, and invitations to SASF donor functions, as well as many other benefits.
