"This is one of the most exciting times in college basketball! The Hawk Excellence Fund is a great opportunity for our fans, community, and alumni to support our program. The CAA is a really competitive league and we need everyone's help to keep rising to the top to compete for championships. Every gift will go to directly benefit our student-athletes and their experience. We are so grateful for the support." --Head Coach King Rice
The Hawk Excellence Fund is a new initiative designed to empower our student-athletes through NIL, revenue sharing, and academic benefits. With the recent approval of the House settlement, this fund will usher Monmouth into the new age of college athletics, and keep the Hawks competitive in the CAA and beyond!
As the collegiate sports world undergoes historic transformation, Monmouth is taking a proactive step to ensure student-athletes continue to thrive both on and off the competitive surface. The fund will serve as a comprehensive resource to empower student-athletes, enhance competitive success, and build a sustainable future for Hawks Athletics. It will also serve to help coaches recruit and retain top talent.
Monmouth Athletics remains committed to its mission, to provide a transformational experience for all student-athletes, ensure they receive degrees, and set them up for a successful life and career after graduation. The creation of this fund helps aid in that goal, while maintaining a culture of excellence in academics, competitiveness and in the development of young men and women.
All donations to Hawk Excellence Fund are tax deductible, and will directly impact Monmouth’s student-athletes.
