Mission, Goals and How You Can Help

The Mission

The Scot Loyalty Fund for Athletics was established to generate restricted funds for Alma College athletics teams; providing opportunities above and beyond the general operating budget in order to enhance the experience of current student-athlete's while they represent the tradition built by the Scots before them.

The Goal

You gave 100 percent as a Scot student-athlete. Alma College and the Scot Loyalty Fund for Athletics now challenge the Alma College athletic alumni to increase their current giving participation from today's 30 percent to over 50 percent.

How Your Gift Will Help

  • To support specialized training and competitive experience such as spring trips and special tournaments.
  • To support the purchase of specialized, supplemental team equipment, training devices and awards such as championship rings. 
  • To support expenses associated with post-season competitive and ceremonial experiences not covered by the NCAA.
  • To assist student-athletes, student assistant coaches and student interns with costs related to professional growth opportunities such as clinics, workshops and conventions.
  • To provide leadership training opportunities for student-athletes.
  • To provide facility enhancements.

Making a Difference

We hope you are as excited by the Scot Loyalty Fund for Athletics as we are. Please designate the program or programs you wish your gift to benefit as you help make a difference through the Scot Loyalty Fund for Athletics.

From everyone involved with endearing this dream to become a reality, we thank you for your continued dedication to and support of Alma College athletic programs.

 

More than 100 Alma College students and staff traveled to destinations in South Carolina, Kansas, Tennessee, and Texas for service projects during winter break in February 2009. "Alternative Break service experiences continue to gain popularity on Alma College's campus," says Sallie Scheide, assistant director in the Center for Responsible Leadership.
