IPTAY Giving Level Changes For FY 2026
IPTAY Giving Level Changes For FY 2026
Since 1934, IPTAY members have made an incredible impact in the lives of Clemson student-athletes. In the classroom, in athletic competition and beyond, the success of our Tigers starts with those on the IPTAY team! Loyal supporters have helped IPTAY evolve into one of the strongest and most generous organizations for philanthropic giving nationally and serve as a bedrock of Clemson’s 21-sport program!
Beginning this summer, the current scholarship model is changing significantly due to the House Settlement, which received approval on June 6, 2025. With this recent approval, roster limits will be put in place for all NCAA-sponsored sports. In addition to roster limits, there will now be no cap on student-athlete scholarships up to the roster limit.
With student-athlete scholarships at the core of the organization’s mission, IPTAY will continue to prioritize this growing expense. To meet this need and others, IPTAY’s annual fund giving levels are being adjusted for IPTAY 2026. These adjustments will allow Clemson Athletics to approach scholarship deregulation aggressively and fully support the continued recent growth of women’s athletics at Clemson. We are grateful for the Clemson Family and its unrivaled student-athlete support. That unwavering support will continue to be a difference maker for our young men and women who proudly wear the Paw today and into the future.
The increases below are the first adjustments to the IPTAY annual levels since FY 2020 and will go into effect July 1, 2025. These new membership donation amounts will be reflected in all membership materials and communications for the IPTAY 2026 year. Please note that these level increases have been approved and endorsed by the IPTAY Board of Directors, the IPTAY CEO and the Director of Athletics.

During a time of major growth within the University and intercollegiate athletics, private support is the key to continued success at the highest level. On behalf of our hundreds of student-athletes, THANK YOU for your commitment to the Clemson athletic program. IPTAY truly is the power behind the Paw!
