HOW IT WORKS
“Friends of HPU” is a fan-driven and alumni-led Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) program for High Point University.

What is Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL)?
NIL allows student-athletes to grow their brand and connect with the community. Since 2021, the NCAA has allowed collegiate student-athletes to profit off their name, image, and likeness (NIL). Student-athletes will partner with local charitable organizations for the betterment of the community. NIL activations with student-athletes can range from charitable marketing partnerships, to autograph sessions, meet-and-greet events, and more.
