The Howling Pack: Supporting Coyote Student-Athletes

The Howling Pack remains essential to USD Athletics, serving as the foundation of our annual scholarship fund. Donations directly support student-athletes by covering tuition, housing, meals and other essential expenses—helping them excel in competition and the classroom.

While all athletic donor funds and ticket contributions are valued, the Howling Pack continues to play a crucial role in sustaining scholarships and supporting program growth.
