Mission Statement

The primary mission of the Student Aid Association is to support, strengthen and develop the intercollegiate athletic program at UNCW by raising funds to support athletic scholarships at UNCW.  It may also raise funds for the improvement and construction of physical facilities to be used by UNCW for athletic purposes and increase the university’s athletic scholarship endowment fund.  The Student Aid Association may also raise funds to provide operational and supplementary support for our entire sports program.
