Penn State Intercollegiate Athletics is truly a self-sustaining athletic department; therefore, intercollegiate athletics does not receive any state or university funding for annual operating expenses. The mission of the
Nittany Lion Club is to provide annual scholarship support to Penn State University student-athletes and to develop private support for capital projects, endowments and other needs as prioritized by Penn State Intercollegiate Athletics.
The Nittany Lion Club Levi Lamb fund is the general fund for all 31 varsity sports at Penn State. By making a gift to this fund you provide financial aid to benefit student-athletes and provide the resources they need to excel in the classroom and in competition. Your gift enables them to train and study in state-of-the-art facilities such as the Morgan Academic Center. Currently, the maximum numbers of scholarships allowed by the NCAA are given to over 800 deserving student-athletes.
