PLANNED GIVING

Scholarship Endowments

Endowed scholarships provide lasting support for Tennessee Tech student-athletes by covering the core costs of their education—tuition, room and board, and books. By establishing an endowed scholarship, you ensure that Golden Eagles have the resources they need to thrive both in the classroom and in competition.

With an endowment, you can designate your support to the sport of your choice, creating a permanent impact on the lives of student-athletes for generations to come. Endowed funds grow over time, helping offset the rising costs of scholarships while strengthening the foundation of Tech Athletics.

Opportunities to establish a scholarship endowment begin at $25,000.

program Endowments

Program endowments create a permanent source of funding to strengthen Tennessee Tech Athletics. These endowments provide essential resources to enhance sport-specific budgets, support special projects, and help attract and retain the very best coaches to lead our student-athletes.

Funds from program endowments are used at the discretion of the head coach, in consultation with the Director of Athletics, to meet the evolving needs of their teams. Whether it’s investing in equipment, supporting team travel, or advancing player development initiatives, program endowments ensure that every Golden Eagle team has the resources to compete at the highest level.

By establishing a program endowment, you are making a lasting investment in the future of Tennessee Tech Athletics - one that impacts not only today’s student-athletes, but generations to come.
