About The Foundation
Dietzel Foundation is dedicated to promoting academic excellence, athletic eminence, and the restoration of historical landmarks on the campus of Louisiana State University. With this diverse focus, the Foundation is strategically situated to carefully and effectively promote all of it's initiatives.
Landmark
The Landmark division of Dietzel Foundation focuses on rehabilitating and sustaining the architectural integrity of historical landmarks. The Foundation has provided a grant to "Landmark at LSU", the University's student organization that mirrors the same values as the Foundation.
Athletics
The Foundation supports sports clubs, allowing teams to focus on practicing, playing, and winning — instead of business and fundraising. Dietzel Foundation combines third-party corporate sponsors, internal funding, and team-supported fundraising campaigns to provide team funding.
Academics
Academic excellence is a fundamental requirement for the success and growth of this nation's future leaders, the prominence of Louisiana State University, and the Louisiana community. The Foundation currently operates strategic initiatives to support students on a base level, and has immediate plans to increase scholarships and further on-campus initiatives.
Coach Dietzel
Paul F. Dietzel, most recognized for his undefeated 1958 National Championship LSU Football team with half-back-heisman-winner Billy Cannon, has dedicated his life to serving and training young men to become better citizens on and off the field.
