Coyote Legacy Scholarship
Recognizing Alumni Families

The Coyote Legacy Scholarship aims to bring the Coyote family together to recognize and support the children of alumni who pursue a degree at USD and see it as the obvious choice. Children of University of South Dakota alumni can pay in-state tuition for their undergraduate degrees regardless of where they live under a program approved by the South Dakota Board of Regents. The Coyote Legacy Scholarship program is currently available to in-state students so that their families may be similarly recognized for their commitment to the University of South Dakota.
As we work to meet you where you are and positively impact alumni and their families, we welcome your support to ensure the next generation of Coyotes has access to the same traditions and experiences that you did.
