Supporting Athletics at Gaston College

Softball Players

In our first year of operation (2021-22), the Gaston College Athletic Department provided athletic and academic opportunities for more than 70 student-athletes across five sports. Our students rely on the passionate commitment of Gaston College alumni and friends to meet our most pressing needs. We invite you to join our team and help us grow the Gaston College Athletic Program and provide athletic scholarships. 

The Gaston College Athletic Fund, held by the Gaston College Foundation, is designated to ensure the successful growth of Gaston College athletes by providing scholarship opportunities and support throughout the academic year, as well as to meet the greatest needs of the Gaston College Athletic Department.

Your contribution to the Athletic Fund could provide:

  • Books for one semester for a student-athlete ($500)
  • A partial scholarship for an in-state student-athlete ($1,000)
  • A full scholarship for an in-state student-athlete ($2,500)
  • A partial scholarship for an out-of-state student-athlete ($5,000)
  • A full scholarship for an out-of-state student-athlete ($8,500)

Gaston College is pleased to invite our community supporters to participate in the Gaston College Athletic Events held at Sims Park during the 2022 calendar year. This includes Rhino Baseball season, Highland School of Technology season, American Legion season, as well as other travel ball tournaments and events. Gaston College is making many improvements to the field. Our most visible improvement is the installation of new artificial turf, which reduces operating costs and allows for a high-quality, durable playing surface.
