A great way to make a significant impact to NSU Swimming program is through the Swimming Championship Fund – an exclusive insider club that is the backbone of Northern’s Swimming 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 Swimming. To compete as an NSIC Conference Championship team and to consistently take individuals to the National Championships, 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 swimming is 8.1 scholarships and NSU is currently at 2.5. We are three full scholarships away from really making a difference and competing with those in our conference. This means we are $67,500 short in scholarship funding. COST: $67,500 annually
DAILY PROGRAM ENHANCEMENT FUND Uniforms, practice and competitive gear, training equipment, and video equipment are not only essential for our program, but also enhance the student-athlete experience and athletic potential. In addition, nutritional enhancement needed for swim recovery, strength and conditioning technology upgrades, and everything needed to ensure our athletes are equipped to train and perform at the highest level. COST: $40,000 annually TRAVEL Travel, including a winter training trip, will allow us to keep up within a changing and extremely competitive environment, while helping us strive to maintain a championship level program and experience for our student-athletes. COST: $67,500 annually
