Developing Leaders, Building Champions, Changing Lives
The Setters Club Fund is the fundraising arm of the Pace University Athletics Department. The mission of the Setters Club is to generate funds to support each of our intercollegiate teams while boosting school spirit and Alumni relations. All gifts allow the Athletic Department the flexibility to make improvements that benefit our student-athletes as a whole. Donors have the opportunity to designate gifts to a particular team that is most important to you.
Private support is essential to successful athletics at Pace University. When you join the Setters Club, your support helps to provide high achieving student-athletes the opportunity to receive a first class education, and to excel at the highest level of competition. When you make a gift to Pace Athletics, whether one-time or monthly, in support of Setter student-athletes you are helping our coaches and staff Develop Leaders, Build Champions and Change Lives.
"As a student-athlete on the football team, I was able to adapt to different settings. Between competing, classes, and working a part-time job, my experiences at Pace helped me when I went into the real world. It's important that I give back. Being a student-athlete at Pace and the academic rigor gave me the building blocks I needed to develop my career and my family."

Developing Leaders
Pace University student-athletes take pride in their accomplishments in the classroom, posting a 3.37Â grade point average in 2023-24, while providing opportunities for community engagement. Each year our Setters participate in numerous volunteer and community services initiatives.
Building Champions
Pace Athletics teams are among the most respected in the region and around the nation. Each year our teams are competing for conference championships. In 2023-24 four teams earned bids to their respective NCAA Tournaments and in 2022-23, the Pace Women's Lacrosse team captured the NCAA Division II National Championship.
Changing Lives
Pace student-athletes make the most of their opportunities and go on to be successful in life. Pace is in the Top 10% of private U.S. colleges that provide the best return on tuition investment (Source: PayScale) and the Top 11% of U.S. colleges with the highest-earning alumni (Source: PayScale).
