The Butler Way...
demands commitment, denies selfishness, accepts reality, yet seeks improvement everyday while putting the team above self.
By providing a gift today, you have a chance to demonstrate The Butler Way by committing to our student-athletes to ensure they have the resources needed to be successful on and off the playing surface. When our student-athletes choose Butler, they are committing to a rigorous academic track, accompanied with competing athletically at a high level… this is proven by the following statistics:
- 94% Graduation Success Rate (GSR)
- 255 BIG EAST All-Academic Selections
- 361 on Athletic Director’s Honor Roll (3.25+ GPA)
- 81 Placed on Dean’s List (Top 20% in their college)
- 92 with a perfect 4.0 GPA
- 3.44 Combined Student-Athlete GPA
Approximately 10% of our student body is directly involved in athletics and competes on one of our 20 NCAA Division I teams.
The core of Butler Athletics is centered around six (6) main goals:
- Academic Excellence
- Exceptional Student-Athlete Experiences
- Championship Culture
- Competitive Success
- Source of Pride and Unity for students, faculty, staff, alumni, and friends of Butler
- Fiscal Sustainability
To achieve these goals, we need YOUR help! Your generosity helps us provide the facilities, training, and support these student-athletes need to succeed in the classroom, on the field of competition, and in our community.
