Since 1986, the Volunteer Athletic Scholarship
Fund (VASF) has been the winning-edge for Tennessee Athletics. The financial
support provided by the approximately 10,000 VASF donors has enabled Tennessee
to become one of the elite athletic programs in the country. Annual donations
to the VASF have grown from $600,000 in 1986 to $13.1 million in 2001,
and total gifts to Men's Athletics exceeded $18 million in 2001. These
gifts provide more than 500 male and female student-athletes with the
opportunity to earn a degree from The University of Tennessee, and enable
our coaches to recruit world-class athletes. These funds are also vital
in building and maintaining the superior Athletic
Facilities in which our student-athletes train and compete. There are several ways to become a donor to the Volunteer Athletic Scholarship Fund. To obtain Member Benefits, it is important to make your gift prior to MARCH 1 of each year.
