Go, Gators! Supporting SFSU Athletics
Gator Athletics has a proud tradition of competitive success. The department offers 10 NCAA Division II intercollegiate athletics programs to nearly 200 students: Men’s and Women’s Basketball, Men’s and Women’s Cross Country, Women’s Soccer, Softball, Men’s and Women’s Track & Field, Women’s Volleyball and Men’s Wrestling. Our programs emphasize academic performance as well as athletic achievement and offer student-athletes the opportunity to reach educational goals and pursue athletic accomplishments.
All donations to SFSU Athletics are directed toward scholarships. These funds allow students to focus on studying and training and give our teams a competitive edge. Scholarships offered to student-athletes inspire students to complete their degrees at SFSU instead of transferring to colleges that offer athletes full tuition remission.
Your support enables our student-athletes to reach their potential in the classroom, in the community and on the playing field.

Vic Rowen Scholarship Fund
Vic Rowen (1919-2013) was the esteemed head coach of SFSU’s football team from 1961-1989. His early tenure established SFSU as a West Coast football powerhouse. In his honor, the Gator Gridiron Club created the Vic Rowen Scholarship in 2001. The Club is spearheading a fundraising campaign to permanently endow the fund with $150,000.
