Lions Share New Update 2025

The Lions Share offers student-athletes a financial opportunity to attend and stay at UNA, based on their academic and program standing. Your support of the Lions Share is vital to its sustainability.

The Lions Share: The Basics

  • Available to all UNA student-athletes, including walk-ons
  • Recipients are selected by head coaches
  • Each Lions program sets its own performance standards and criteria
  • Not tied to scholarships or cost-of-attendance funds
  • Gifts can be directed to support specific UNA sports programs and may be tax-deductible*

We're committed to creating transformational student-athlete experiences through competitive excellence, academic support, top-tier facilities, wellness, nutrition, and NIL opportunities.
