Strong students + Competitive athletes + Good citizens = Triple Victory

In an effort to help develop young men who excel academically, athletically and in the community, the Gryphon Football Program has launched the Triple Victory Project; to build a legacy and raise $2 million to support Gryphon Football Athletic Scholarships.

To reach our goal Coach Stu Lang has generously agreed to match, up to $1 million, any donations made to an endowed Gryphon Football scholarship listed below.* All donations must be received by the 2016 Gryphon Football Gala to be eligible for the Triple Victory Project. The funds will create an endowment, providing 18 new full scholarships every year for the Gryphon Football program.

Athletic scholarships allow student-athletes to focus on their studies and their sport. With the annual cost of a university education at approximately $16,000, receiving a full $4,000 scholarship would provide significant support to a deserving football player. A full scholarship would allow that student-athlete to focus on their goals without feeling the need to find part-time employment.

Financial support also helps develop well rounded individuals by allowing the time for our Gryphon Football players to give back to the community. Our student-athletes participate as volunteer coaches, run camps for children, and raise funds for Big Brothers / Big Sisters and the United Way. Each season the team supports Breast Cancer Awareness and they have supported the Guelph Drop-In Centre by delivering food and drinks to the Centre.

Currently, the maximum number of full scholarships that any OUA football team may award is 31.5 per year. At Guelph, seven endowed funds support eleven full and partial scholarships. We have room to grow!

By supporting the Triple Victory Project, you will have a direct impact on the lives of our student-athletes. You will help Coach Lang build a legacy that will support Gryphon Football now and long into the future. Along with the 11 endowed scholarships that currently exist, reaching the Triple Victory Project's goal will result in the program's scholarship complement being nearly fully funded.

Make a gift and help Gryphon Football players realize a Triple Victory!

* You may also create your own endowed scholarship by making a gift of $30,000 or more. Your gift would be eligible for matching by the Triple Victory Project.
