Do You Know What It Takes To Be A Boilermaker?
It Takes Your Support!
We are proud to say that Purdue is one of only FOUR athletic departments in the NCAA division 1A that is fully self-sufficient. This means we receive ZERO dollars from the university and/or government. Today our annual scholarship and academic support costs total $11 million and that number keeps going up, making your continued support ever so important.
- Purdue's 500 student-athletes have achieved a higher GPA (3.04) than the general student body for the 26th consecutive semester.
- Defensive end Ryan Kerrigan became the football program's first consensus All-American in 30 years (Mark Herrmann and Dave Young were the latest in 1980) and was selected to play in the Senior Bowl.
- Tight end Kyle Adams earned first team Academic All-America honors.
- The volleyball team advanced to the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament for the first time in the 64-team era and finished the season ranked 11th nationally. The Boilermakers swept No. 1 Florida in the Sweet 16 match for their first-ever victory over a top-ranked opponent. Purdue (24-11, 12-8 Big Ten) made its sixth NCAA Tournament appearance in the last seven years under head coach Dave Shondell.
- This past year, the Women's Golf team brought home the Big Ten's first NCAA Championship title in golf, and contributed to Purdue's 4th team NCAA championship!
