Funds raised through sponsorships for Wolves on the Green will primarily help Western provide more scholarships for student-athletes. Currently, Western is allotted 124 scholarships by the NCAA but only has the financial resources to provide 55 scholarships, a mere 44% of our allotment. That means that over 100 student-athletes receive no scholarship support, and the overwhelming majority of remaining student-athletes receive only partial scholarships: 76% of student-athlete scholarship recipients receive less than $10,000/year and 40% receive less than $5,000/year.

Increased scholarship dollars will support Wolves Athletic by making a deeper impact on recruitment, and helping even more deserving student-athletes focus on earning their degree while honing their athletic skills.

Additionally, monies raised will go towards team travel, including pre and post season tournament play, and needed team equipment to ensure that the overall athletic experience is better for our student-athletes and on par or exceeding similar-sized DII programs. These funds will not only ensure the future of Wolves Athletics but help keep Oregon’s best athletes in Oregon.
