Organized over two decades ago, the Fighting Scot Booster Club's primary mission is to provide financial support for the athletic program while promoting community awareness and involvement in the University. Each spring members of the Fighting Scot Booster Club conduct a national and community-wide fund raising campaign to support the cost of athletic operating expenses. Student activity fees cover a portion of the operating expenses, but private funding is crucial in maintaining the level of excellence the Fighting Scot programs have enjoyed through the years.
