A booster is an individual, agency, entity or organization who is known by an institution to:

  • Have made any type of financial or in-kind contribution to the athletics department or booster organization for the department;
  • Have been a season ticket holder for any sport;
  • Have been a member of any organization promoting Rutgers athletics (e.g., SKWC, Touchdown Club, Letterwinners Club);
  • Have arranged for or provided benefits to enrolled student-athletes or their families or to prospective student-athletes or their families; or
  • Have otherwise promoted Rutgers athletics program in any manner.

Please note, not all alumni are boosters, and not all boosters are alumni.

Once a Booster, always a Booster! Once you have been identified as a booster, you retain that status FOREVER! As a Rutgers booster, you are bound by NCAA, Big Ten and University rules, and, therefore, Rutgers is held responsible for your actions. 

There are potential eligibility implications regarding your involvement/contact/communication with student-athletes and prospective student-athletes, so please use our office as a resource for any questions you may have concerning your status as a booster.
