Irvine, Calif. -- UC Irvine is introducing the Together We Zot Fund, which lets alumni, fans, community members and donors positively impact Anteater student-athletes with resources.
The initiative is a bold step forward, marking not just a donation, but an investment in the success of our student-athletes and the long-term strength of UC Irvine Athletics.
A Culture of Winning and Success
UC Irvine has built champions since 1965, demonstrated most recently by capturing the Dennis Farrell Big West Commissioner's Cup, awarded annually to The Big West institution that has the highest degree of success in all men's and women's conference-sponsored sports during the academic year.
"Â We put our student-athletes at the heart of everything we do and it results in a strong culture of winning and success," Athletic Director Paula Smith said.
Anteater student-athletes compete at the highest level athletically and academically, and with an investment in the Together We Zot Fund, UCI continues to provide world class experiences for our future leaders. In the ever-changing landscape of collegiate athletics, UC Irvine has an unwavering dedication to student-athletes and to providing resources that make their journey fulfilling.
The Together We Zot Fund is exclusively dedicated to providing scholarships, room and board stipends, summer school, institutional licensing (NIL) directly to student-athletes, and Alston awards, ensuring UCI stays at the forefront of innovation and impact in college sports.
Together We Zot is a commitment to:
- Recruiting and retaining top talent
- Maximizing each student-athlete's potential
- Keeping UC Irvine Athletics nationally competitive
- Providing transformational support as rules evolve
While the Together We Zot Fund is an important enterprise, it does not replace the Anteater Club which continues to provide support in the form of scholarships and operational support.
