About

The Fund for Athletic Excellence serves as an unrestricted annual fund for Navy Athletics, which provides Margin of Excellence resources to all 36 varsity programs and 15 club sports. Over 95% of Navy Athletics' annual budget is generated from external, non-government resources. This Fund is essential to providing sustained support to all programs.

NAAA Partnership with A&SP 

The Athletic and Scholarship Programs (A&SP) is a division of the USNA Foundation made up of 250 Trustees that encourage and support the Physical Mission at the Naval Academy. The program is responsible for grants and awards that recognize superiority in athletics and a comprehensive scholarship program to ensure that the Naval Academy has the best scholar-athletes in the nation.
 
The A&SP Trustees partner with the NAAA to provide approximately $3 million annually in unrestricted support to The Fund for Athletic Excellence to meet supplemental needs of Navy Athletics. This includes financial support to all 36 varsity teams, club sports, and the Naval Academy Prep School in Newport, RI.
 
Athletic & Scholarship Program Trustees are encouraged to support The Fund for Athletic Excellence through the USNA Foundation, as it serves as the lifeblood of the A&SP organization and provides resources that directly impact the entire Physical Mission.
