A great way to make a significant impact to NSU Track & Field and Cross Country is through the Championship Fund – an exclusive insider club that is the backbone of Northern’s track & field and cross country teams. 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 Track & Field/CC. To compete as an NSIC Conference Championship team and to consistently take individuals to the national meet, 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 men’s and women’s track & field/cross country is 12.6 scholarships each and NSU is currently at 3 scholarships for men and 3.6 scholarships for women. We are two full scholarships away for both men and women from really making a difference and competing with those in our conference. This means we are $45,000 per program per year short in scholarship funding. COST: $90,000 annually
