Rockne Heritage Fund

It’s no secret that the best financial aid packages attract the best student-athletes. That’s why we created the Rockne Heritage Fund.

What is the Rockne Heritage Fund?

The Rockne Heritage Fund is a key source of support for expendable athletic scholarships. These scholarships:

  • Are powerful recruiting tools.
  • Enable student-athletes to come to Notre Dame without having to worry about how they will pay for it.
  • Make Notre Dame dreams come true.

Why give to the Rockne Heritage Fund?

There are so many reasons to give to the Rockne Heritage Fund. Here are just a few:

  • You think scholarships are important.
  • You think changing the life of a student is a pretty good return on investment.
  • You want to be invited to the exclusive Rockne Heritage Fund tailgate party prior to the Blue-Gold Game.
  • You’re celebrating a reunion this year, and you want your class to win the reunion giving challenge.
  • You bleed blue and gold.
  • You want to be eligible for the football ticket lottery (a gift of $1,500 or more will increase your odds in the football ticket lottery AND qualify you for membership in the Director’s Circle.)

So the real question is, why not give to the Rockne Heritage Fund?
