WHAT IS THE TIGER SCHOLARSHIP FUND? (TSF)
The Tiger Scholarship Fund is MU Athletics’ annual fund-raising program.
Every dollar contributed is used to reimburse scholarship expenses—
tuition, fees, room and board—for the more than 470 young men and
women student-athletes who receive financial assistance to attend the
University of Missouri.
ANNUAL GIFTS
You may make your contribution in cash, by personal check, credit card,

MATCHING GIFTS
You may increase your gift and benefit level through the matching gift

THE TIGER SCHOLARSHIP FUND PRIORITY POINT SYSTEM:
The TSF Priority Point System will be used to determine priority when
allocating all season ticket upgrades, priority parking, and ticket allocations
for post season contests and special athletic events.
1 point for every $100 donated to the Tiger Scholarship Fund (since
1983)
2 points for every consecutive year you have purchased season tickets
for a particular sport (since 1983)
3 points for every consecutive year you have been a member of the
Tiger Scholarship Fund (since 1983)
*Separate priority points will be calculated for football and men’s basketball.
For more information about the Priority Point System, please contact the
Tiger Development Office.
PLEASE NOTE
• One annual donation qualifies you for both
football and men’s basketball priority benefits.
• Only donations to the Tiger Scholarship Fund
qualify you for priority benefits. Donations to
capital improvement projects, individual
sport improvement accounts or other
fund-raising projects do not qualify.
• Ticket and parking locations are not
transferable to anyone except your
spouse.
• Failure to maintain the required
giving level or failure to order season
tickets by the specified deadlines will result in seat
and/or parking lot relocation.
• All parking and seating requests are based on
space availability. There are
no guarantees as to location.

HOW TO OBTAIN PRIORITY BENEFITS
1. Choose the location of the seats and parking you wish
to receive and the corresponding required level at
which you are willing to donate (see pp. 6-7).
2. Make your pledge and/or donation by the
specified deadlines of May 1 (football) or
September 1 (men’s basketball)—simply fill out
the membership form in this guide and mail it
with your donation.
3. To request a parking permit for football and/or
men’s basketball, just indicate your preferences on the
membership form in the spaces provided.*
4. To request a season ticket location for football and/or
men’s basketball, please indicate your request on your
season ticket order form.* If you are not already a
season ticket holder, please check the corresponding box
on the membership form and
you will be mailed season ticket information.
5. Tiger Scholarship Fund members receive first priority for Big 12
Basketball Tournament, MU-Illinois men’s basketball game, bowl game and
other post-season tickets. To order tickets, call 1-800-CAT-PAWS. A limited
number of tickets are available for each of these events. Therefore,
allotment and distribution of these tickets can fluctuate annually and are
determined in the same manner as season ticket locations (see below).
*Allocations take place after the specified deadline to allow previous
members the opportunity to renew their tickets. This means that we will
not know what locations will be available until after the renewal deadline.
We are also not able to predict the number of donors who will request a
specific location. Therefore, there are no guarantees as to location. All
requests will be ranked and filled top-down within each annual giving level
based on the priority point system. All efforts will be made to meet your
request. However, if your requested location is not available, we will then
assign you the next best available location.
