The Zips Athetics Scholarship Fund (Z-Fund) serves to raise monies that offset student-athlete scholarships.  Scholarship monies are raised by the Z-Fund through special events, an annual fundraising campaign, major gifts and through donor portions of season ticket sales for football and men's basketball.  Financial contributions are critical to the success and support of our student-athletes in their quest for excellence in the classroom and their respective sport.  The Z-Fund values the financial support made by corporate and individual donors who form the framework from which athletics development operates.

1. Increase all 2007-2008 Z-Fund and "Friends of" program donations by a minimum of 10% for the 2008-2009 athletic season.

2. Increase Zips Athletics Scholarship Fund (unrestricted) donations to $350,000.00.
