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 more than $75,000 on average between tuition, team travel, equipment, sports medicine, food and nutrition and tutoring/academic resources.
- In 2024, Arizona State ranked ahead of Stanford, Cal, USC and UCLA for the third year in a row for Academic Progress Rating which tracks achievement in the classroom year over year.
- Some more metrics that show just how much these hard-working student-athletes have achieved with your support: 3.40 average GPA (spring 2024), 43% of the senior class made the Dean’s List throughout the 2023-24 academic year, 50 total student-athletes across six teams were named to the 2023 conference Academic Honor Roll and 165 total Sun Devil student-athletes received degrees in the 2023-24 academic year, with 58 graduating with honors.
Our family believes in giving back and sharing the blessings we have received financially and through our time."
