14. Unrestricted Endowments
  Objective: Unrestricted gift evenly spilt between Academics, Athletics, and Cadet Activities
The Superintendent’s Endowment for Academics and the Superintendent’s Endowment for Athletics provide the Superintendent the flexibility to allocate funds to academic and athletic needs based on established priorities and the allocation of restricted gifts and non-appropriated funds otherwise available.
Academic support includes honorariums for guest lecturers, cadet visitations to museums, academic conferences and historic battlefields, funding for foreign language immersion supervised intern programs and to support capstone projects: solar powered cars, off-road vehicles, model airplanes, model bridges and other unique, but important, projects.
The Directorate of Intercollegiate Athletics fields teams in 26 varsity sports and funds are required for team travel, equipment, uniforms and supplies.
USMA has four separate developmental areas: military, physical, academic, and the moral-ethical, which cuts across the first three areas and provides the foundation for a lifetime of service. The Cadet Activities program significantly enhances the development of cadets in all four of these areas and is an essential part of the West Point experience.
Recognition – Class Recognition in ODIA, Library, and Eisenhower Hall   
Allows the Superintendent to take advantage of previously unforeseen opportunities and to seize upon new projects and/or programs that will help maintain, or even improve upon, the excellence of the West Point experience.
A broad-based program of Academics, Athletics and Cadet Activities, with strong financial support, is essential to attracting the best candidates to West Point. The extracurricular activities program offered by a particular school is an important factor when America’s young men and women select a school for their undergraduate education. 14
