The commitment to Division I required an upgrade in our scholarship offerings throughout our 17 sports. USD put together a plan to increase the annual scholarship offerings from 105 to 186 while maintaining Title IX compliance. This increase in scholarship offerings has created the need to generate significantly more revenue. Two areas were identified to be the vehicles to assist in financially funding the increased scholarship offerings – the annual fund and major gifts. The Howling Pack serves as the annual fund and Great Expectations serves as the major gift component of the equation. The Great Expectations scholarship campaign is designed to fill the immediate needs of Division I until our annual fundraising, The Howling Pack, matures to fund the increased expenses of Division I.
