Champions Begin with Scholarships
Each year over 500 student athletes compete in NCAA Division I intercollegiate athletics at Gardner-Webb University. The annual financial support of University alumni and friends to the athletic program provides the foundation for excellence in the classroom and on the playing field.
The Gardner-Webb University Bulldog Club serves as the fundraising arm for the Department of Athletics and plays an important role in funding scholarships for the University’s 22 NCAA Division I intercollegiate sports.
In addition to the Bulldog Club, the My Team program serves an important role in supporting the Gardner-Webb athletic program.
All Runnin’ Bulldog fans and athletics supporters are invited to join!

A Bulldog Club Lifetime Member Endowed Scholarship Fund is a named scholarship established to provide financial assistance to full-time Gardner-Webb University student-athletes. The scholarship expresses the commitment of the donor to support students who wish to pursue higher education and Division I athletics but require financial assistance to do so. A Bulldog Club Lifetime Member Endowed Scholarship will be considered endowed at $25,000. At that point, the fund will begin providing a financial award to a deserving student-athlete.

Those giving to My Team programs are eligible to receive numerous Bulldog Club benefits. Any My Team donation over $500.00 receives a Bulldog Club Polo.
