Champions Fund
This year, we are excited to announce a new fund—the Champions Fund. This fund is possible thanks to a generous donation from the NCAA in appreciation of Chancellor Schmidt's service as the Chair of the Presidents Council, the highest governing body in Division III. The Presidents Council establishes and directs the division's general policies, oversees the division's budget, and establishes the strategic priorities.
This fund allows the director of athletics access to funds to cover post-season expenses not covered by the NCAA. When our Blugolds win a national championship, this fund will be able to cover the cost of national championship rings for student-athletes and coaches. It is the goal for all teams to represent UWEC at the highest stage, and this fund helps our teams when they need it most and also rewards them when they reach the pinnacle of winning a national title!
