EACH

BEGINS WITH YOU.-JA K E E L L I OT T ’17

D E A R T I G E R S C H O L A R S H I P F U N D D O N O R ,

On behalf of the University of Memphis Athletics Department, I want to thank you for generously giving your resources and passion to advance the goals of our University. Your continued support of Memphis Athletics has a direct impact on those young men and women in our care who represent our University and our city in intercollegiate athletics.

Your generosity allows our talented young people to pursue their dreams of earning college degrees while competing for championships at the highest level of intercollegiate athletics. At the winter commencement, we celebrated the 25 Tiger student-athletes who graduated this semester. Over the last five years, 406 Tiger student-athletes have earned their diplomas. Thanks to your partnership with our department mission, these young people have achieved an all-time-high graduation rate of 87 percent and will enter their respective fields equipped to lead and serve with integrity and skill.

Please consider upgrading, renewing or donating today by supporting Memphis Athletics through the Tiger Scholarship Fund. For those donors who take the “NextStep” and upgrade their donations to the next benefit level, we will host an exclusive Donor Signing Day event with our head coaches and myself, and offer an exclusive Memphis Athletics “NextStep” gift. Please be sure to make your contribution prior to the Tuesday, May 15 deadline.

If you have further questions, please call us at 901-678-2334 or email us at tsf@memphis.edu. Thank you for your continued support of Memphis Tiger student-athletes and the Tiger Scholarship Fund.

Go Tigers!
