Join the Lake Erie Chapter PSAA Today!
Who are we?
We are Penn State! The Lake Erie Chapter, on behalf of the Penn State Alumni Association, provides continuity and connection to Penn State through fun and rewarding activities for the Lake Erie area alumni and friends.
What do we do?
Our goal is to keep the Penn State spirit alive and well in northwestern Pennsylvania. We do this through community services and social activities. The Chapter also funds the Robert W. Sparks Scholarship which awards grants to Penn State students from northwestern PA. To date, our Chapter contribution to the Sparks Scholarship is more than $80,000. The Behrend College Athletic Department has received more than $6,000 which was used to buy equipment for the sports programs.
Who can join?
Anyone who is PENN STATE PROUD! All graduates, former students, family and friends of Penn State are welcome. All recent graduates of Penn State are entitled to one-year free membership of the Lake Erie Chapter.
Membership for one year (January - December) only costs $15 per person or $20 per family and all proceeds support the scholarship fund.

Additional benefits!!
The Board of Directors of the LEC has been busy trying to find ways to increase the value of a membership in our Chapter. One project we have been working on is getting local vendors to offer discounts on their products to members of the Lake Erie Chapter. Though we are still early in this process, we have successfully partnered with several businesses in Erie and North East. This is how it works: the vendors who have agreed to partner with the LEC will offer a discount on their products and / or services to any LEC member that produces a valid LEC membership card. The discount will vary by vendor. The businesses we have agreements with and their offers for our members, are listed below:
