COLUMBIA, Mo. - The Tiger Scholarship Fund (TSF), the official fundraising arm for the University of Missouri Athletic Department, has launched a new website to better serve all TSF members. The site, www.tsf-mizzou.com, is a one-stop place for TSF information and news.
The new and improved website features stories and photographs of Mizzou's 502 student-athletes, online gift-giving options, access to one's priority points through "My Mizzou Account," TSF and ticket account history and registration options for Tiger events, among other elements.
"The new TSF website is fantastic," TSF donor Chad Phillips, Columbia, Mo., said. "All the information I need to access has been brought together in one location. Being able to review my TSF points, manage my tickets and find detailed program information 24/7 is a great benefit to both current and prospective boosters. The new graphics, player photos and social media links make a great first impression as the front door to Mizzou Athletics on the web."
"One of the best features of the new TSF website is the ability to manage my tickets," TSF donor Jean Uher, Columbia, Mo., said. "Being able to email tickets I am unable to use on short notice is an easy way to make sure there's a fan occupying my seat! I would love to see more people using this feature for those early season basketball games where attendance is low."
The mission of the Tiger Scholarship Fund is to provide scholarship support for Mizzou student-athletes. Contributions given to the TSF annual fund are used to cover scholarship expenses such as tuition, room, board, academic counseling, tutors and life skills programs for Mizzou student-athletes.
In addition, the TSF generates private funding for endowments, capital projects and other needs as prioritized by the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics. Gifts to the Tiger Scholarship Fund are utilized in a fiscally responsible manner to "Prepare Champions for Life" and to enhance and instill the three core values of the Athletics Department, which are: Academic Integrity, Social Responsibility and Competitive Excellence.
