What is the Valpo Victory Fund?
The Valpo Victory Fund is the primary fundraising arm for Valpo Athletics. It supports the 400+ student-athletes and coaches who proudly represent our University on Valpo’s 19 NCAA Division I teams.
Contributions to the Valpo Victory Fund support increased athletic scholarships and provide program enhancements that are critical to the demands of competing at the highest level of competition in the Missouri Valley Conference, Pioneer Football League, Conference USA and NCAA.
Your generous contributions to the Valpo Victory Fund assists with the recruitment, education, training, and development of student-athletes. Strong support ensures our student-athletes experience at Valpo is commensurate with the high expectations we place on them institutionally to be champions in competition, in the classroom, and in the community.
