What are Priority Points? How can I earn more?
| Annual Items | Point Value | Denominator |
|---|---|---|
| Cumulative Giving (Major Gifts) | 2 | $100.00 |
| Planned Giving | 2 | $300.00 |
| Yosef Club (Annual) | 3 | $100.00 |
| Consecutive Years Giving (every consecutive 5 years) | 5 | 1 |
| MSI (an increase from previous year's Yosef Club donation) | 6 | $100.00 |
A donor's priority point rank is determined based on total giving to App State Athletics. This includes giving to the Yosef Club, athletic scholarships, and the Leadership Society.
A donor's annual Yosef Club membership level and then their lifetime priority points total within their current membership level determines their priority point ranking for parking location, away game and post-season tickets, and premium seating options. Each donor can access their athletic giving record by logging into their "Paciolan" account by clicking "Login" in the top right corner. This will allow each current donor to check their priority points total, donor rank, and athletics giving record at any time.
If you have ever contributed to the Yosef Club, you likely have an existing account and should log in using that information. Please do not create an additional online account to avoid duplicating efforts. If you are unsure of your account status, need your login information, or would like further details on the priority points system, please contact the Mountaineers Athletic Fund staff.
Want To Boost Your Points?
Mountaineer Scholarship Incentive Program
A Mountaineer Scholarship Incentive (MSI) aims to increase scholarship revenue for App State student-athletes. All Yosef Club members who increase their pledge from previous years will receive double points(2X) on the increased amount.
EXAMPLE:
Previous Year Yosef Club Contribution = $1,000
Current Year Yosef Club Contribution = $5,000
Regular Points for the $1,000
Double Points(2X) for the additional $4,000
Next Level Program
We continually ask our student-athletes to step up to the next level in practice, competition and in the classroom. The Next Level program is a call for all Yosef Club members to increase their membership level to the next level. The pandemic has had a significant impact on budgets for everyone, including our athletics department. Help us continue to grow and provide scholarship dollars for our Mountaineers wearing the black and gold. Collectively we can reach even greater heights.
110% Program
As our App State student-athletes give 110% in everything they do as Mountaineers we ask our Yosef Club members to consider doing the same and give 110%.

FORMER
ATHLETES ASSOCIATION
The App State Former Athletes Association was chartered in 1984 and is made up of former student-athletes who join the Yosef Club at the $100 level.
A portion of the $100 pays a Former Athlete's yearly dues and allows the FAA to sponsor the following:
- The App State Athletics Hall of Fame induction weekend
- The annual Student Athletic Council Awards Banquet
- Awarding letter jackets, backpacks and duffle bags to deserving student-athletes - A luncheon for graduating seniors and their parents.
The Former Athletes Association has an Annual FAA Raffle Fundraiser that helps fund the above projects.
Three hundred $100 tickets are sold, and three winners are drawn at the last home game. The first ticket drawn receives $2,000, the second receives $3,000, and the third receives $5,000. The balance ($20,000) is put in the coffers and allows the FAA to fund the above projects for our athletes.
