Neisen Family Hockey Scholarship
Learn more about your impact
David and Heather Neisen are avid supporters of Sun Devil Hockey and have been season ticket holders since the inception of the program. The Neisen's are originally from the Midwest and East Coast respectively and have two young children competing in the sport. The Neisen's are excited to create an endowment to support the hockey program in the family’s name. Their intent is to make an impact on the program by establishing a scholarship for a student athlete that is in good academic standing on the team. This commitment to hockey scholarship will cement the Neisen's connection to the program as well as recognize their support for hockey in perpetuity.
Impact of Donor Support
- The cost for an out-of-state student-athlete to attend ASU for one year is $71,660 on average between tuition, team travel, equipment, sports medicine, food and nutrition and tutoring/academic resources.
- Arizona State ranked No. 1 in the Pac-12 Conference for the second year in a row in 2023 for Academic Progress Rating which tracks achievement in the classroom year over year ahead of Stanford, Cal, USC and UCLA.
- Some more metrics that show just how much these hard-working student-athletes have achieved with your support: 3.3 average GPA (fall 2022), 76% of student-athletes received “Scholar Baller” status (3.0 GPA or higher), 110 student-athletes with a 4.0 GPA and 138 Academic All-Americans since 2000, which ranks second in the Pac-12 during that stretch.
Our family believes in giving back and sharing the blessings we have received financially and through our time."
