A Mountaineer Impact, a drive for excellence, will allow App State Athletics to:
Our endowment and planned giving program ensure the long-term financial future and the sustainability of App State Athletics’ national brand we have worked so hard to build. By establishing a scholarship endowment, program endowment or planned gift with App State Athletics, you will support our student-athletes by funding expenses directly related to education, personal development and sports performance.
Currently App State Athletics has 126 active endowments. Please see the lists below in recognition of all those who have endowed scholarships in long-term support of our Mountaineers. If you are interested in contributing to an already existing endowment rather than starting a new fund please contact the Mountaineers Athletic Fund at (828) 262-3108.
Establishing your legacy through a planned gift can impact the student-athletes of today while building a lasting tradition of support for the student-athletes of tomorrow. Many planned gifts provide substantial tax advantages while providing philanthropic support for over 415 App State student-athletes.
Please contact the Mountaineers Athletic Fund to discuss leaving your lasting legacy by establishing a scholarship endowment today!
