GIVE TO ADAPTIVE ATHLETICS

Why Give 

Adaptive Athletics actively recruits top athletes from around the U.S. and abroad. To recruit and retain our most promising student athletes, we offer a range of scholarships. Some of our scholarships come directly from fundraised dollars. 

For over 50 years, the University of Arizona has empowered students with disabilities to pursue both academic and athletic success. By recruiting student-athletes from around the world, we offer a one-of-a-kind experience that draws global visitors to learn from our coaches, administrators, and athletes. We believe in the power of sport to open doors to higher education, foster community, and reshape perceptions of disability. With only 16.4% of disabled individuals earning a college degree and 17.8% participating in sports, our program is helping change the narrative—on campus and beyond.

Disability is a vital part of diversity and an essential thread in the fabric of both our society and the University of Arizona community. We take pride in seeing our athletes succeed beyond the court, with alumni thriving in fields like pharmacy, research, and education. As a nationally recognized leader in wheelchair sports, every dollar we receive directly supports our student-athletes and their journey to success.
