Endowed scholarship honors
head of Nittany Lion Club
Kay Kustanbauter, executive director of the Nittany Lion Club, was recently honored by a group of donors who endowed a $250,000 scholarship in her name.
This spring, Kustanbauter was planning to have a quiet dinner at The Nittany Lion Inn with friends and longtime Nittany Lion Club members Diane and Barney Dillon. Instead, she was surprised by a dinner party in her honor where she was presented a full endowed athletic scholarship given to her by some of the many friends she has made in her tenure.
Art and Paige Nagle gave a $125,000 matching challenge, and a long list of donors quickly met the challenge raising the remaining $125,000.
Kustanbauter has served the University for 36 years.
