Oklahoma State University Athletics
MOVING ON UP
September 29, 2007 | General
In an effort to ensure all OSU varsity sports are competitive, Oklahoma State Athletics recently launched the Leave a Legacy fundraising campaign targeting $115 million in endowed scholarships for our 400 student-athletes.
Since the campaign began, donors have committed nearly $15 million; OSU Athletics has significantly moved up to middle of the pack from a 12th place ranking (last place in the conference).
Due to the incredible support and generosity of the Cowboy faithful, many student-athletes will receive scholarships, travel, academic support, strength and conditioning, housing, food, etc. through philanthropic funding and associated investments.
Each year, the cost of scholarships total approximately $5 million – directly impacting our annual operating budget. Involved donors are helping the department guarantee scholarship funding for Oklahoma State student-athletes in perpetuity. In turn, the department is awarding priority points for both today's gift (cash, stock, etc.) and long-term planned gifts (estate gifts, life insurance policies, trusts, etc. ).
There is a special opportunity for a family to leave their legacy with Oklahoma State University and secure the future of our athletic programs.
To all involved fans, POSSE members, ticket holders, donors and Endowment Campaign contributors – thank you. There has never been a better time to be a Cowboy!
Go STATE!
