Progress and Accomplishments

2021-2022 Q1 Report

Description Support Titan Pride by providing funding for a Division I athletics program and 350 student athletes appropriately. Titan Athletics plans to utilize SSI dollars to fund 70 full student athlete scholarships.  NCAA rules allow some sports programs to award less than a full scholarship to multiple students.  For example, one full scholarship in baseball could be broken up and awarded as 4 one quarter scholarships to 4 different student athletes.  Because of this rule, over 200 student athletes will benefit from the 70 full scholarships.  The Director of Compliance has confirmed that a full scholarship in 2021-22 is valued at approximately $24,877.  The ability to offer this aid will allow Titan Athletics to be competitive in the Big West conference and Division I in all sports.  Additionally, SSI Funds will be used to provide funding to Athletics Academic Services to hire graduate student tutors and fund the Student Athlete Life Skills Program. Lastly, SSI funds will provide health and wellness benefits to our student athletes by funding 3 Strength & Conditioning Graduate Assistants and equipment/supplies for the Athletic Training Room and Weight Room.
