A great way to make a significant impact to NSU Football is through the Football Championship Fund – an exclusive insider club that is the backbone of Northern’s football team. By donating at least $100 (through the NSU Foundation), you can become a difference-maker, helping Wolves football enhance the student-athlete experience and elevate the team to the top of the NSIC and NCAA Division II. IDENTIFIED NEEDS We have identified a list of needs that will assist in building a championship culture for NSU Football. To compete as a top-25 team and consistently be in the mix for NSIC and National Championships, we need to increase our scholarship funding, improve our program’s operating budget, and enhance the student-athlete experience.
SCHOLARSHIPS The NCAA maximum scholarship level for football is 36. NSU is currently at 32 scholarships, which means we are $90,000 per year short on our goal to have a fully-funded Wolves football program. COST: $90,000 annually DAILY PROGRAM ENHANCEMENT FUND Nutritional enhancement such as meals and post workout needs, strength and conditioning/ technology upgrades, and everything needed to ensure our athletes are equipped to train and perform at the highest level. COST: $60,000 annually
