Support Bronco Athletics on Day of Giving

At Santa Clara University, our student-athletes strive for excellence in the classroom, in competition, and in the community. Day of Giving is your opportunity to directly impact the lives of more than 400 Bronco student-athletes competing across 18 intercollegiate programs.

Santa Clara Athletics most recently captured the West Coast Conference Commissioner’s Cup for the first time in nearly 20 years, awarded annually to the league’s top-performing athletics department in WCC competition. The honor reflected an outstanding year across Bronco Athletics, highlighted by conference championships, strong finishes across multiple programs, and continued competitive success throughout the conference.

Our student-athletes also continue to excel academically. During the last full academic year (2024-25), 241 Broncos were named to the WCC Commissioner’s Honor Roll, including 63 earning Gold Honors with GPAs between 3.75 and 4.00. As of the most recent update following the 2026 Winter Term, Santa Clara student-athletes hold a cumulative GPA of 3.349, reflecting the department’s continued commitment to excellence in the classroom.

Your support helps ensure our student-athletes have the resources they need to pursue competitive excellence while benefiting from the transformational experience of a Santa Clara education.
