About the Islander Athletic Fund

The Islander Athletic Fund (IAF) is the official fundraising organization of Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi Athletics. Gifts to the IAF support the scholarships and overall experience for the student-athletes who compete in our 16 NCAA Division I sports on the Island. Annual donations are directly applied towards student-athlete scholarships and sport operating budgets, and help strengthen our goal of winning championships with integrity.

"Four years of college tennis are over and I still remember the very first match I played for the Islanders at New Mexico. Now four years later, I sadly cannot play anymore! All the grind and fighting together with my brothers, all the laughs and fun trips we had together in these four years I will never forget. I want to thank all my Islanders teammates, coaches and the whole Islanders family for the support and memories I have experienced. It is awesome to be a part of this program and organization, but most importantly it's simply amazing to be part of the Islanders family."
