About

The Student-Athlete Recruitment and Retention Fund (SARRF) helps San Diego State compete at the highest level of college athletics by providing critical resources to recruit, retain, and support exceptional student-athletes.

As SDSU begins a new era in the Pac-12 Conference, the competition for top talent has never been greater. Your investment helps ensure the Aztecs can attract and retain student-athletes who excel academically, athletically, and personally while positioning our programs for sustained success on the national stage.

Every gift strengthens the future of Aztec Athletics.

Why It Matters

Today, institutions are permitted to directly share revenue with student-athletes while continuing to provide scholarships, academic support, housing, meals, world-class training, and comprehensive student-athlete development.

The Student-Athlete Recruitment and Retention Fund gives SDSU the flexibility to invest in these opportunities and remain competitive in one of the nation's premier conferences.

Your support helps ensure the Aztecs can continue to recruit, develop, and retain championship-caliber student-athletes.

Building on a Strong Foundation

SDSU's success is built on the dedication of Aztec Nation and the leadership of organizations like the MESA Foundation and Aztec Link, whose support has created meaningful Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) opportunities for our student-athletes.

Together, these efforts complement the Student-Athlete Recruitment and Retention Fund, creating a comprehensive approach to supporting student-athletes both on and off the field of play.
