THANK YOU Dear Red Raider Supporters, On behalf of Texas Tech Athletics, I want to thank you for all you do to impact more than 400 student-athletes across 17 sports. The generosity of our fans is unparalleled and each of you are critical to the success of our student-athletes. We have incredible momentum across the department. Recently we announced the hiring of Head Football Coach Joey McGuire to lead the football program, received over $60 million in support of the Campaign for Fearless Champions, and are experiencing continued overall success across all our sport programs. Including, a record cumulative GPA of 3.2 for all student-athletes. This success and momentum would not be possible without the contributions made to the Red Raider Club annual fund which are vital to Texas Tech Athletics. Support at each level benefits our student-athletes by providing scholarships and academic and training resources throughout the year. Your generosity leaves a lasting impression that will continue to shape the future of Red Raider student-athletes and Texas Tech Athletics. Thank you again for your support. We appreciate your dedication to Red Raider studentathletes. Wreck ‘Em! Sincerely,
Kirby Hocutt Director of Athletics

EXPAND THE BRAND ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT AWARDS - STRIVE PROGRAM Whenever NCAA rules are changed to benefit student-athletes, Texas Tech Athletics acts quickly to fully respond and implement these opportunities. With the recent ruling in Alston vs. NCAA, institutions can now provide up to $5,980 in academic achievement awards each year to every scholarship student-athlete. In order to implement this, the Strive Program was created for scholarship student-athletes who are academically eligible, on course to graduate on schedule and remain a member in good standing with his or her respective sports program at the end of the semester. In addition, GPA requirements and participation in student-athlete programming led by the J.T. and Margaret Talkington Department of Student-Athlete Development will count as qualifying criteria. Similar to the implementation of cost of attendance measures in recent years, Texas Tech Athletics will raise the necessary $1.8 million to cover academic achievement awards annually through gifts to the Red Raider Club. This new area of impact will enhance the first-class experience for our Red Raider student-athletes who represent us on and off the field. Texas Tech will initiate these awards starting with the 2022-2023 academic year. We need your continued support of the Red Raider Club! Not only will this new opportunity add to the experience of Red Raider student-athletes, but it will allow Texas Tech Athletics to remain competitive when recruiting and retaining the best student-athletes. Please consider increasing your support with contributions to the RRC Excellence Fund this year to fund this and all other Red Raider Club areas of impact.
