USC Athletic Support Groups

About Marketplace

USC has a heritage of athletic excellence that is unmatched by any university in America.

USC has won more than 90 national championships in a dozen men's and women's sports-from baseball to water polo. Pretty staggering when you think about it. Just as impressive is the fact that USC is third nationally in the total number of NCAA postgraduate scholarships won.

The reason is simple: you. With the generous donations and support of our alumni and friends, the student-athlete at USC is given the chance to achieve greatness on the field and in the classroom.

As a member of a support group, you are eligible for an array of benefits and unique insights into USC athletics. However, the greatest benefit will be knowing that your generous participation in a USC Athletic Support Group will help build upon the Trojans' unprecedented athletic excellence. Even more, your help will ensure the high degree of educational excellence that truly defines the USC Trojan student-athlete.
