The Panther Scholarship Club rebranded to the Ever Loyal Club to provide transparency on how Ever Loyal Club funds will be used. As the unrestricted annual fund for the Athletics Department the Ever Loyal Club will not be assigned to a specific sports program, department unit, or special project. These funds will be used to cover the variety of expenses that are part of the student-athlete experience.

No, all UNI Athletic revenue sharing comes from the Competitive Excellence funds while all Ever Loyal Club funds are used toward the student-athlete experience.

All Panther Points will transition to the new Ever Loyal Club and operate as the same in the past. Priority seating will operate by Ever Loyal Club level first and then your Panther Point amount.

You can view your Panther Points and membership level via your Paciolan University of Northern Iowa ticket account. Your account can be accessed via the my account link on SupportThePanthers.com or by visiting the UNI Athletics ticket site. Every supporter of the Ever Loyal Club has an account in our system so if you do not know your login information please contact us at everloyal@uni.edu.
