The Lambda Fund

Did you know when you donate to Clarkson you can restrict the funds to only be used for student loans by Clarkson TEP students?

You can !  Its called the Lambda Phi Epsilon Student Loan Fund.  Internally we simply call it the "Lambda Fund".

It was setup in 1975 by Ken Love #32 and has been accumulating money ever since.  It has been used by many TEP brothers over the years, and the loans have been repaid with interest, thereby replenishing and adding to the fund.  There is currently $19,000 in the fund available for student loans.

When you make your next donation to Clarkson, make sure to follow the directions below to have it restricted to the Lambda Fund.

Also remember that all donations to Clarkson are tax deductible.
