Office of Student Aid : Scholarships

The mark of a great university is its ability to attract and recognize students with a passion for excellence, superior motivation and intellectual curiosity. These are the students who contribute to Penn State's reputation as a top research institution and public university.

In support of our strong commitment to individual excellence, Penn State continues to build its resources to offer scholarship opportunities for students who excel. While we value all students who bring to Penn State a passion for excellence, the competition for Penn State scholarships is strong. Many students enter Penn State with private scholarships from their high schools, community organizations, or other private philanthropies.
