Not only does giving to the Pack of Champions Scholarship Fund make these opportunities possible, doing so is directly linked to A-State's new priority points system and provides additional benefits to donors.
Any donation amount makes a difference in the life of an A-State student-athlete and is tied to the priority points system with three points awarded for every dollar given to the scholarship fund. However, there are also two giving levels that, when reached, provide extra benefits.
The top level, or "Champion Level," is $25,000 and covers the average cost of a full scholarship, including tuition, housing, books and fees. This level provides the following benefits:
- Name the position of your choice (Your name + the starting position on the designated team) and photo publicized on social media with the student-athlete(s) in the position
- Triple priority points for every dollar (3 points for every dollar)
- Name on the video board during pregame of designated sport
- 100 percent tax deductible
The second level, or "Howl Level," is $12,500 and covers half the average cost of a full scholarship (one semester). This level provides the following benefits:
- Triple priority points for every dollar (3 points for every dollar)
- Name on the video board during pregame of designated sport
- 100 percent tax deductible
"This is truly a philanthropic opportunity to be a part of a life-changing moment for Arkansas State University student-athletes," said A-State Vice Chancellor for Intercollegiate Athletics Tom Bowen. "Providing scholarships is our highest priority in terms of allowing our student-athletes to compete, graduate and become great ambassadors for our university and community. We're excited about the role our Pack of Champions Scholarship Fund will play in that process, as well as the opportunity to connect the lives of our donors and student-athletes in this particular way."
A-State's rewards-based priority points system was announced last week and calls for ticket purchasing and donation incentives that provide better opportunities for not only ticket options, parking locations and activities surrounding home A-State game days, but also future bowl-game appearances and the ability to obtain tickets through the Red Wolves' allotment for their Sept. 6, 2025, football match up against Arkansas at War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock.
