The IU South Bend softball team gathers in a huddle.

The IU South Bend athletic program takes immense pride in our recent achievements—including seven conference championships, 10 national tournament berths, and five consecutive seasons with teams ranked in the top 25. These accomplishments are a testament to the hard work, dedication, and talent of our student-athletes, many of whom have gone on to play professionally after graduation.

Your contribution to this fund could make a vital difference in the following ways (and many more!):

  • Expanding athletic scholarships: Athletic scholarships are the lifeblood of our program, enabling us to attract and retain top talent. Since 2020, student-athletes who have received these scholarships have been retained at an impressive rate of over 84 percent, with a graduation rate exceeding 90 percent.
  • Enriching the student-athlete experience: The generosity of our donors has already enabled our teams to compete in prestigious events across the country. Over the past several years, our men’s and women’s basketball and volleyball teams have qualified for multiple NAIA national tournaments. And during a recent season, our baseball and softball teams traveled to Florida for high-profile spring break competitions. Continued support will ensure that our athletes have the resources they need to compete at the highest levels.
  • Maintaining state-of-the-art facilities: As we look to the future, we are committed to providing our student-athletes with the best facilities possible. These upgrades are crucial for maintaining our competitive edge and enhancing the overall experience for our athletes and fans alike.
  • Providing experiential learning opportunities: We believe that education extends beyond the classroom. To that end, we are dedicated to providing experiential learning opportunities that enrich our student-athletes' lives and prepare them for success in all areas. Your support will enable us to bring in inspiring speakers, offer workshops, and organize activities that broaden students’ horizons and deepen their understanding of the world.

With your help, we can ensure that IU South Bend remains a leader in collegiate athletics, producing champions on the field and in life. Thank you for your support!
