Monmouth University Athletics is excited to announce the establishment of the Hawk Excellence Fund, a new initiative designed to empower student-athletes through NIL, revenue sharing, and academic benefits. With the recent approval of the House settlement, this fund will usher Monmouth into the new age of college athletics, and keep the Hawks competitive in the CAA and beyond.
“We believe strongly in supporting our student-athletes’ NIL opportunities, particularly in the sports of football, men’s basketball and women’s basketball,” said Director of Athletics Jen Sansevero. “We do this while remaining committed to a supporting a broad based, competitive program of 24 sports. To be successful, Monmouth Athletics must continue to adjust the way we have operated in order to generate new streams of revenue.”
As the collegiate sports world undergoes historic transformation, Monmouth is taking a proactive step to ensure student-athletes continue to thrive both on and off the competitive surface. The fund will serve as a comprehensive resource to empower student-athletes, enhance competitive success, and build a sustainable future for Hawks Athletics. It will also serve to help coaches recruit and retain top talent.
Monmouth Athletics remains committed to its mission, to provide a transformational experience for all student-athletes, ensure they receive degrees, and set them up for a successful life and career after graduation. The creation of this fund helps aid in that goal, while maintaining a culture of excellence in academics, competitiveness, and in the development of young men and women.
All donations to Hawk Excellence Fund are tax deductible, and will directly impact Monmouth student-athletes. Donors to the Hawk Excellence Fund will have access to the same benefits as a member of the Blue/White Club. To make a donation today and support the Hawks, visit MonmouthHawks.com/HawkExcellenceFund.
