Why Give?

As we strive to win championships in the nation’s best conference and build leaders in the classroom, your support is more important than ever. By factoring in other direct expenses such as travel, academic support and sports medicine, the complete student-athlete package reaches over $128,000 annually. These expenses add up, as UT supports nearly 585 student-athletes.

Being a student-athlete has given me lifelong friends and taught me so many things about my work ethic, leadership, and my sport. Coming in every day isn't easy, but it's worth everything I have gained—especially the fact that I get to play for my hometown school. I wouldn't trade it for anything.
