They support student-athletes who bring pride, energy, and excellence to the University of North Dakota both on and off the field.

Behind every scholarship is a story of dedication, sacrifice, and the pursuit of greatness. It’s the story of the student-athlete who trains before sunrise and studies long after practice ends. It’s the story of a community of fans and donors whose generosity fuels dreams.


The North Dakota Champions Ball embodies that same spirit.
More than 800 loyal fans and supporters come together to champion UND’s student-athletes. Guests enjoy an evening of live music, dancing, and an auction featuring one-of-a-kind items and experiences.

Proceeds from the event support scholarships and keep the Fighting Hawks soaring — today, tomorrow, and forever.
