Donations to the Falcon Club Scholarship and Success Fund, Athletics Life Design Mentorship Program and our sport enhancement funds help ensure our student-athletes have the tools they need to be successful in competition, the classroom and the community. When you support BGSU Athletics, you support areas such as:

This momentum has been defined by an increased participation by BGSU faithful around the country who are taking action to support the success of this University," said Vice President for Athletics Strategy Derek van der Merwe. "The BGSU Athletics Department is directly meeting the changing landscape of college athletics challenges head on by continuing to expand the community of supporters who wrap themselves around each one of our sport programs.
