TAF has become a critical element in the success of LSU Athletics by providing private funding for scholarships, academic rewards, new athletic facilities and facility upgrades.
[1][2] In an effort to permanently fund LSU athletic scholarships in each sport, TAF offers the opportunity to support the Foundation of Champions scholarship endowment program.
Funds raised help offset the costs for tuition, fees, books, and room and board for LSU student-athletes.
[14] The Tiger Athletic Foundation is administered by its own board of directors, composed of TAF donors, which meets quarterly.
In 1983 the Varsity Club was replaced by TAF's predecessor, “Tigers Unlimited,” a Louisiana nonprofit corporation.
