Driving Potential Through Athletics and Access

It is an incredible time for the U.S. Naval Academy (USNA). Thanks to your generosity, we are making great strides to meet the emerging needs across the mental, moral, and physical mission of the Academy—developing each midshipman to serve confidently upon graduation. Your efforts enable us to create new and exciting opportunities while strengthening our leadership, sustaining our physical campus, and cultivating our community.

FUNDS THE FUTURE OF NAVY ATHLETICS-ON AND OFF THE FIELD

ATHLETIC SUPPORT

Each year, the A&SP provides over $4.05 million in direct support for all types of athletic activities at the USNA. This includes extensive financial support to not only the 36 varsity teams but also the many club and intramural teams as well as to the Naval Academy Prep School in Newport, RI.

SCHOLARSHIPS

Through a need-based scholastic program, the A&SP provides one year of post-high school education to qualified young men and women who need further academic preparation before they enter the Naval Academy. A&SP has sponsored more than 4,000 candidates to date who have graduated from USNA.

PHYSICAL MISSION

The A&SP has provided significant funding and support to the Naval Academy and the Physical Mission for over 80 years (since 1944). The impact on the Brigade, USNA facilities, athletics and scholarship programs continues to be significant.

OUR IMPACT

The USNA Admissions Board recommends students to the Foundation (A&SP). A&SP currently sponsors up to 50 candidates for one year of post-high school study at 11 civilian and 4 military preparatory schools. The military schools are junior colleges. It is up to the accepted candidates to choose the schools they would most like to attend. Candidates recommended to the A&SP by USNA Admissions include men and women, athletes and non-athletes and students from varied backgrounds.

In 2024, the Athletic & Scholarship Programs through the Fund for Athletic Excellence helped provide more than $4.05 million in direct support to the 36 varsity teams, the many club and intramural teams and the Naval Academy Prep School in Newport, RI.
