The Ball State Alumni Association welcomes new Cardinals into the Ball State family through the Born to be a Cardinal program. This program is available to all babies from birth to 12 months in age who are the children or grandchildren of Ball State alumni.

About the Born to be a Cardinal program
If you are a Ball State alumnus and the proud new parent or grandparent of a child age 0 to 12 months, the Ball State Alumni Association would like to say congratulations and enroll the newborn in the Born to be a Cardinal program.

The cost to enroll in the program is a minimum of $15.00. Once the newborn is enrolled, the Alumni Association will send the new Cardinal a Ball State bib, a magnet photo frame with the Born to be a Cardinal logo, and set up a custodial account in the amount of $10.00 minimum in the child's name with the Ball State Federal Credit Union. All amounts above $15.00 will go directly into the custodial account.

The Ball State Federal Credit Union  is a proud sponsor of the Born to be a Cardinal program.
