Scholarships
University scholarship endowments are currently being developed with the hope that, over the next several years, Penn State can make additional funding available to more students.
Because Penn State attracts many exceptional students, the competition for Penn State scholarships is strong.
The typical Penn State scholarship award is $1,500 for an academic year.
