“Becoming a Saluki changed my life. I owe all of my success to the relationships I was able to build with coaches, teammates, professors, members of the community and the SASF donors.”

“My athletic scholarship, to me, is an opportunity. It is not just an opportunity to live out my dream of playing division one college softball, but more importantly, an opportunity to go to school.”

Parking locations for Saluki basketball and football are determined by your annual SASF giving level and availability. In order to qualify for a season parking pass, an SASF member must also be a season ticket holder for that respective sport. Donor ranking plays a critical role in the fi nal allocation of parking permits each year.

S aluki Athletics sincerely appreciates the contributors who support our student-athletes — philanthropically and

through the purchase of season tickets — and stand behind our goal of fostering excellence. These individuals are vital to the continued academic and competitive success of Saluki student-athletes. 

 To consistently maintain and build on those successes, we rely heavily on the generosity from all alumni, fans and friends who contribute to the Saluki Athletic Scholarship Fund. The SASF is the foundation on which we are able to build a program that o� ers scholarships to more than 350 student-athletes.

 When you join the SASF, you’re partnering with a com-mitted group of individuals who are determined to see the Salukis achieve a level of excellence unchallenged in the MVC. As the scholarship fund grows, that goal becomes even more attainable.

 Please know that we are truly grateful for any gift and accept it with a commitment to provide our student-athletes with an unforgettable experience while attaining an invalu-able education at Southern Illinois University.

Greetings,Saluki Nation
