It's Time to Back the 'Cats
Join the Wildcat Family for a week of giving to fuel Chico State Athletics!
Your gift supports scholarships, academic success, and the programs that help nearly 350 student-athletes excel in competition, the classroom, and the community.
Choose your favorite team to help them climb the leaderboard, or give to the Student-Athlete Success Fund to impact every Wildcat.
Together, we back the 'Cats!
Student-Athlete Success Fund
Your gift to the team (or teams) of your choice will go a long way to supporting a comprehensive student-athlete experience.
In addition to supporting teams directly, you can give to the Student-Athlete Success Fund, which provides scholarships, helps recruit top talent, and sustains vital resources like our strength & conditioning center and athletic training staff. This fund also fuels academic achievement.
During the 2025-26 academic year, Chico State student-athletes continued to improve their standard of academic achievement. The year culminated in two landmark “department bests”, as our Wildcat student-athletes earned the highest GPA and the most 3.0’s in Chico State Athletics history. This marks the 3rd straight year of setting an all-time high in those categories!
Here are the stats:
- The Athletics Department earned a 3.356 Cumulative GPA (Highest in Wildcat Athletics history)
- 284 (76%) Wildcat student-athletes earned a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher (Most in Wildcat Athletics history)
- 7 Wildcats earned a perfect 4.0 cumulative GPA
