Back the 'Cats is in OVERTIME!
The competition may be over, but there’s still time to Back the ’Cats! Several of our Wildcat teams are still working toward their fundraising goals, and your support can help them finish strong.
Choose your team and make a gift to help provide the resources more than 350 Wildcat student-athletes need to succeed in their sport, in the classroom, and beyond.
Want to back them all? Give to the Student-Athlete Success Fund and support programs that benefit student-athletes across Chico State Athletics.
The competition is finished, but the giving isn’t. 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
