UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. – Penn State Athletics has announced the creation of the Legacy Fund to ensure Penn State continues to be one of the most competitive departments in the country. The Legacy Fund is a two-pronged effort providing resources for student-athlete scholarships and a commitment to ensuring Penn State’s 23 athletics facilities, including Beaver Stadium, remain some of the best venues in the nation.
As college athletics experiences generational change, Penn State Athletics is taking steps to guarantee its longstanding history of excellence in the classroom, the community and competition continues for years to come. Among the changes resulting from the pending House decision, scholarship limits currently in place under NCAA regulations will be removed, allowing Penn State to financially support the academic pursuits of more student-athletes for all 31 sports.
The Legacy Fund is a small but meaningful way to provide support to current and future Penn State student-athletes. To help grow the fund, fans will see nominal increases associated with a variety of items, including but not limited to season and single-game tickets for all ticketed sports, season and single-game football parking, concessions, novelties and purchases at the Blue & White Golf Courses.
The decision to institute nominal fees was not taken lightly, but rather one focused on how to best support our student-athletes and the entire athletics department. Penn State Athletics has a strong foundation and an unmatched fanbase that will help attack this new era of college athletics as one Penn State community, with a presence felt across the country and around the globe.
