• The Yellow Jacket Foundation was created September 19, 1974 to support Black Hill State student-athletes. Since the foundation's inception, contributors have been the driving force in both funding for athletic scholarships and improving athletic facilities.
• Through various endeavors such as tailgating, auctions, golf tournaments, concessions, ticket sales, sports camps, outright donations and other events, the Yellow Jacket Foundation funds all athletic scholarships given to Black Hills State student-athletes.
• Supports athletic facilities and supports the athletic operating budget such as program expenses.
• The Yellow Jacket Foundation supports the Black Hills State Athletics department by funding the equivalent of nearly 30 full-ride scholarships in support of our 11 athletic programs that participate in NCAA Division II as members of the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference. The current scholarship average for RMAC members is 60 full-ride scholarships. With your help as loyal BHSU fans, the Yellow Jacket Foundation works to achieve this average every day.
