Football

As the costs to run premier collegiate athletics programs continue to escalate, we are working to secure the future of the UND Football program.

The total annual cost of scholarships for UND Football is $2.1 million. Scholarships are covered by Impact Scholarships, Endowments, and the North Dakota Champions Club. This year, 63 scholarships were awarded to the UND Football Program. Today, our cost of scholarships outweighs what we’re able to provide. We have $1.9 million in unfulfilled scholarship needs.

Support Student-Athletes

Meat Up for UND

Meat Up for UND helps UND Football student-athletes fuel their bodies and recover stronger with nutrient-dense, locally sourced beef, pork, and poultry. Backed by science and nutrition research, the program supports muscle repair, prevents damage, and promotes recovery after intense practices and games. Your gift makes a significant difference on and off the field.

Impact Scholarships

Impact Scholarships help offset the cost of annual scholarships. Gifts to Impact Scholarships are not invested; rather, 100% of your yearly pledge will directly benefit a student-athlete scholarship. Contact a gift officer to learn more.

Endowed Scholarships

Endowed scholarships are an investment into the future, providing perpetual financial support that increases over time. To lay the permanent groundwork for UND Athletics, we need to increase our scholarship endowments to support student-athletes now and in the future. Establish an endowment today by contacting one of our experts.

Gift Planning

The 1889 Legacy Society includes donors who have confirmed testamentary commitments through the UND Alumni Association & Foundation in their will or estate plan. By giving a gift to UND Football in this way, you will cement your legacy as a difference-maker for a program that means so much to our University. Create your legacy with a planned gift.
