Penn State Athletics Receives $5 Million For Beaver Stadium Renovations From Matt & Anne Schuyler

Penn State Athletics has received a $5 million donation from Matt Schuyler, the former chairman of the Penn State Board of Trustees, and his wife, Anne Schuyler, to support the Beaver Stadium renovations. In recognition of the donation, the stadium’s West side field club will be renamed the Schuyler Family Club.

“We are unbelievably grateful for the generous gift from the Schuyler family for our Beaver Stadium Revitalization project,” Patrick Kraft, Penn State’s vice president for intercollegiate athletics, said in a statement. “During his time as the chair of the Board of Trustees, Matt was a stalwart supporter and champion of Athletics. He has been a vocal leader in this revitalization project, and this tremendous gift shows he understands the importance of Beaver Stadium to our university, community, student-athletes, and fans.”

Matt Schuyler, a 1987 graduate with a bachelor’s degree in business, was chair of the board from 2020 to 2024. His tenure began in July 2015 as an at-large trustee, and he served as vice chair of the board from 2017 to 2020. Additionally, Matt Schuyler has volunteered on the Board of Visitors of the Smeal College of Business and the College of Information Sciences and Technology, and with the School of Hospitality Management Advisory Board.

Additionally, Schuyler was the chief brand officer at Hilton Worldwide. He was also the chief human resources officer for Capital One and held senior human resources positions at Cisco Systems and PricewaterhouseCoopers.

“On behalf of our entire family, Anne and I are proud and honored to support the Beaver Stadium Revitalization Project,” Matt Schuyler said. “We understand the power of athletics and its ability to bring people together, inspire excellence, and create lasting memories. Like so many Penn Staters, our family has enjoyed coming together and reuniting with friends each fall and Beaver Stadium has been the centerpiece of our gatherings.”
