“I can honestly say I am proud to call UNCG home. This school is a great place to play Division-I basketball, get a degree, and most importantly, mature as a person. I have learned so much in my time here and I have been fortunate to call myself a Spartan for all four years of my collegiate career.”- Drew Parker, ‘14

SCHOLARSHIP COSTS
With tuition and fees escalating each year, it is increasingly important to grow our Athletic Scholarship Fund to help relieve the strain on the athletic department budget. We currently spend $3,219,938 for scholarships. However, it would take an additional $535,606 to fully fund all scholarships allowable by the NCAA for each of our 17 varsity teams.
