The Endowed Scholarship Program within The Viking Fund allows a donor to provide for the future of our student-athletes. A minimum gift of $25,000 can endow a scholarship and you may specify the sport program. This is a great way to honor a family member, friend, coach, or former student-athlete and to ensure continued support for student-athletes.

Gifts that can offset the expenses of the Viking Athletic Department are also welcome. Fair market value for these gifts will be given toward Viking Fund membership. CLICK HERE FOR MORE DETAILS, opens in new tab
