2006 UCLA MEN’S SOCCER 69 WOODEN ATHLETIC FUND/ATHLETIC ENDOWMENT
The UCLA Athletics Campaign has endowed 197 of the 282 NCAA allowable athletic grants-in-aid. UCLA Athletics expresses its sincere gratitude to the individuals listed for their support in the continuing eff ort to distinguish UCLA as the nation’s premier academic and athletics institution. An endowment generates income to the University in perpetuity. By investing the gift principal and using just the interest earned to help meet the cost of a grant-in-aid assures the Athletic Department of on-going funds to maintain the quality and diversity of its program. Currently, UCLA provides finan- cial assistance to over 400 stu- dent-athletes participating in 24 intercollegiate sports. However, expenses such as the cost of tuition for student-athletes have increased dramatically in the last several years while department revenues have remained relatively stable. Tax-deductible gifts to the Wooden Athletic Fund play a pivotal role in meeting the escalating costs of team travel, recruiting, equip- ment replacement and, most importantly, in providing athletic scholarships. Now more than ever, private support is necessary if UCLA is to maintain its position as the best GGrant-In-Aidrant-In-Aid Donors*Donors* athletic program in the country.
