Support UT Athletics
The Tennessee Fund (formerly VASF) was created in 1986 to provide the resources necessary to ensure student-athletes at The University of Tennessee reach their full academic and athletic potential. Charitable gifts by nearly 15,000 donors support over 500 student-athletes and 20 athletic programs. These gifts also help our coaches recruit the nation's premier student-athletes and compete for SEC and national championships.
UT Athletics seeks to:
- Graduate all student-athletes
- Compete for and win SEC and NCAA titles
- Produce young men and women to be ambassadors for our University and state
In 2008-2009, Tennessee Fund donors contributed over $35 million in support of:
- 212 SEC Academic Honor Roll Students
- 227 student-athletes with a 3.0 GPA or higher
- 78 graduates
- 6 Academic All-Americans
Why your support matters:
- Cost of tuition per year: $19,618(in-state), $32,576(out-of-state)
- UT athletics department funds over $7.5 million annually for athletic scholarships
- The athletics department contributes more than $10.35 million annually to the university
- UT Athletics is self-sufficient, receiving no state or university subsidies
The success of Tennessee Athletics, and more importantly the student-athletes, would not be possible without the generous support of Tennessee Fund donors.
