more ways to impact student-athlete support
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.
Why We Need Your Support

James Lawson
“I am truly blessed to have been
given the opportunity to play
at such a high level with a great
coaching staff, teammates, and
a huge supporting community.”
“I really do not know exactly
what I want to do, but I know
being a Penn Stater is what I was
destined to be. It really cannot be
expressed in words how grateful I
am to be able to represent Penn
State in a competitive
fashion through the
wrestling team.”

“With your generous
gift it has allowed me
to take full advantage
of everything Penn State
has to offer. I am currently
a red-shirt junior even
though it is my fourth
year of college and still have
one year of remaining eligibility.
Because I have an extra year of
schooling it has allowed me to take
classes that otherwise wouldn’t be
possible.”
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.
