Student-Athlete Development

Today, we invite you to support App State Student-Athlete Development – Mountaineer NEXT.

This year, we’re excited about:

• Continued growth of Mountaineer NEXT as the premier student-athlete development program, preparing athletes for success beyond their sport
• Expanding opportunities in career readiness, NIL education, and financial literacy for all student-athletes
• Strengthening our impact in the community through service, engagement, and leadership initiatives

Why Your Gift Matters Giving Day support helps provide critical resources that directly impact our student-athletes. This year, priorities for Student-Athlete Development include: • Expanding career development and networking opportunities • Increasing access to financial literacy and NIL education resources • Enhancing community engagement and leadership programming

The impact is already being felt. Just this year, our student-athletes have contributed:

• Over $50,000 in economic impact through community engagement efforts • 1,712 community service hours supporting organizations across our region

Your support helps ensure our student-athletes have the tools they need to grow, lead, and succeed—during their time at App State and long after.
