As UCF prepares to celebrate its annual Day of Giving on April 10, the Frost family has made a generous $500,000 commitment to UCF Athletics’ newly launched Competitive Success Fund. This transformational gift from UCF head football coach Scott Frost and his wife, Ashley, will directly enhance UCF’s ability to recruit, retain, and develop student-athletes as they compete at the highest levels.
The Competitive Success Fund, part of the ChargeOn Fund, serves as a crucial initiative to strengthen UCF Athletics’ commitment to student-athlete excellence. The fund is designed to support revenue sharing efforts, bolster scholarship opportunities, and elevate the overall competitiveness of UCF’s athletic programs. The Frost Family’s contribution to the Competitive Success Fund is a testament to the lasting impact of the UCF experience and the collective effort to propel the Knights forward in this new era of college athletics.
Frost, who led the Knights to an undefeated season and a Peach Bowl victory in 2017, expressed his deep connection to UCF and the importance of giving back to the program that has meant so much to him.
“UCF is a special place to my family and me,” Frost said. “The experience we had here, the people, the culture, and the passion for excellence all played a huge role in shaping who I am today and why we came back. Ashley and I are honored to support the Competitive Success Fund because we believe in the vision of UCF Athletics and want to contribute to the continued success of its student-athletes. The future is incredibly bright for the Knights, and we are excited to be part of it.”
The Frosts also encouraged Knight Nation to join his family and make a gift to UCF as part of Day of Giving, which is Thursday, April 10. During the 24-hour fundraising event, donors rally together to celebrate UCF and give to the causes that mean the most to them, including student scholarships, life-changing research and UCF Athletics.
Pending final approval of the House Settlement, beginning July 1, 2025, universities will be permitted to share revenue directly with student-athletes. UCF’s Competitive Success Fund is a proactive measure to ensure that the department is prepared to support its student-athletes at the highest level as college athletics continues to evolve.
“We are grateful to Scott and Ashley Frost for their gracious commitment,” said UCF Vice President and Director of Athletics, Terry Mohajir. “Their generosity will directly benefit our student-athletes as we continue to elevate our athletics programs on the national stage.”
The Competitive Success Fund plays a critical role in advancing UCF’s Mission XII initiative. For more information on how to support UCF Athletics through the Competitive Success Fund, click here.
