The
Annual Fund includes gifts made by Maryland fans including alumni, student-athlete alumni, friends and businesses. The financial investment of Terrapin Club members helps position our teams to successfully compete in the Big Ten and on the national stage. The Terrapin Club relies on the generosity of its loyal constituents who demonstrate their commitment year after year. Annual support is vital for Maryland Athletics to meet the ongoing and ever-changing needs of college athletics. The annual cost of a scholarship for just one student-athlete is $34,198.
Our Annual Fund goal is to increase our membership to
10,000 members. While a minimum gift is required to receive select benefits, any gift of any size makes a difference. Please visit the
benefits page for more information. For more information on Young Alumni memberships, click
