Chapter Education Fund
A Chapter Education Fund, or CEF, is a fund managed and invested by the SAE Foundation and used to benefit a chapter's undergraduate or graduate-school members. All donations to a CEF are included in the donor's lifetime giving record with the Foundation.
Frank Bassett Fund (CEF)
Alumni have set up a fund in Frank Bassett's memory with the SAE Foundation. The interest earned from the fund investment is used to pay the tuition fees for chapter members to attend the National Leaderhip School. Thanks to the wonderful benevolence of Brother Aubrey McClendon, the fund balance is over $10,000. More information on a CEF is here.
