Create champions in the classroom, competition and community

The Department of Athletics is committed to providing student-athletes with the tools they need to succeed academically and athletically. Since Ohio State’s athletic program is the largest and most comprehensive program in the nation, it requires significant resources — and support from the Buckeye community — to maintain its size and success. When you give to the Champions Fund, you help current student-athletes receive a world-class education and athletic experience and create a lasting impact that helps future Buckeyes succeed.

"Earning a scholarship is nothing short of a blessing as it has allowed me to continue my athletic career and pursue higher learning without the financial burden. The trajectory of my life changed when this great university took a chance on me to grow not only athletically but academically as well." 

Donovan Jackson, Football Student-Athlete
