Rob and Darcy Royal ensured the long-term success of Sun Devil Football when they created the Royal Family Scholarship. Your generosity supports the Royal family in ensuring that Sun Devil Football student-athletes can afford the tuition, room and board, and books they need to be successful.

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."
