Donations to sport specific funds will help enhance the specific student-athlete experience of each individual sport. Sport specific gifts are used to increase available operating resources for the program to cover expenses related to team travel, meals, apparel, uniforms, equipment or part time coaches.

Sport specific donations are used within the sport at the discretion of the Director of Athletics and Head Coach. Funds available include:

Chargers Athletic Department Operations

The Charger Champions Club is the primary fundraising for intercollegiate athletics and its purpose is to provide financial support to the reach for excellence in athletics.

Charger Champions Athletics Department Endowment

To enhance the level of operation of the Hillsdale College Chargers Athletics programs. The specific intent for this endowment fund is to enhance operations of every facet of Charger Athletics to offer a top tier student-athlete experience.

Excellence Fund for Athletics Special Projects

Investment in the future of our student-athletes, our facilities, and equipment they use. Contributions to the Excellence Fund for Athletics Special Projects supports growth of smaller projects through the athletic department that do not meet the level of a large capital facility project. Examples include renovations in sports performance spaces, fueling station, student-athlete wellness & study room, locker room updates, recruiting room updates, adding visual branding in office and lobby spaces, and more. 

Athletic scholarships are available to student-athletes based on athletic ability. Athletic scholarships are offered and awarded at the discretion of each Head Coach. Our goal is to provide coaches the maximum level of athletic scholarships permitted by NCAA regulation.

Contributions to scholarships may be made to the remitted athletic scholarship fund or to endowed athletic scholarships
