For five decades the SWOSU Foundation has worked tirelessly to raise the resources needed for the university to advance beyond what is possible with state funds. The Foundation is the bridge between generous alumni and community and the needs of our students. The Foundation is home to the Alumni Association and the Athletic Association.
Since Southwestern’s establishment in 1901, our alumni and emeriti have made a positive impact on the world around them while keeping each other connected to “The Hilltop.”
The purpose of the SWOSU Athletic Association is to supplement the Athletic Department’s University budget in order to be competitive in the prestigious NCAA II and Great American Conference. The top priorities are recruiting and scholarships. Funds raised are used to attract talented athletes to campus and supplement the departments scholarship funds.
