A great way to make a significant impact to NSU Baseball is through the Baseball Championship Fund – an exclusive insider club that is the backbone of Northern’s baseball team. By donating at least $100 (through the NSU Foundation), you can become a difference-maker, being part of enhancing the student-athlete experience and elevating the team to the top of the NSIC. IDENTIFIED NEEDS We have identified a list of needs that will assist in building a championship culture for NSU Baseball. To compete as a regional ranking and an NSIC Conference Championship team, we need to increase our scholarship funding, improve our program’s operating budget, and enhance the overall student-athlete experience. SCHOLARSHIPS The NCAA maximum scholarship level for baseball is 9 and NSU is currently at 3.4 scholarships. We are two scholarships away from really making a difference and competing with those in our conference, which means we are $45,000 per year short in scholarship funding. COST: $45,000 annually DAILY PROGRAM ENHANCEMENT FUND Daily operations of a baseball program are very demanding and always changing. Growing this fund will allow us to keep up with the competitive NSIC and give our student-athletes a quality student-athlete experience. This includes the cost of equipment, training technology and upgrades for hitting and pitching, nutritional enhancements such as post-game meals and pre/post workout needs, and everything needed to ensure our athletes are equipped to train and perform at the highest level. COST: $40,000 annually TRAVEL A trip down south is imperative to having a competitive baseball program and we must completely fund this every year. The cost of travel, food, and the tournament fee are all needed. COST: $15,000 annually ~
