Give Today

Please join us in our powerful mission to elevate the visibility, support and impact of women’s athletics at Penn State.

In today’s competitive environment, athletic scholarship funding is THE greatest competitive differentiator. With thresholds removed by the NCAA, universities can now offer full scholarships to every rostered student-athlete. IF we have the funding.

That’s where YOU come in.

More scholarships allow us to recruit and retain more elite women student-athletes at Penn State regardless of financial means, strengthening our teams through depth, continuity, and long-term competitiveness.

Teammates For Life works in conjunction with the Nittany Lion Club to help donors identify individual teams to which they would like to contribute, or more generally, to support women student-athletes through mentorship and leadership programming.
