About

Support the University of Dayton Division of Athletics

The Champions and Scholars Fund allows us the flexibility to support priorities among our athletic teams. The funds from One Day, One Dayton 2024 will directly enhance sports program operating budgets to provide student-athletes with resources that directly improve their experiences as they compete with their respective teams. This includes support for travel, equipment, gear, training and practice facilities, nutrition, film, and strength and conditioning.
