Opening Doors
We are creating opportunities for everyone who is willing to work hard.
This is the heart of who we are, encompassing the Penn State mission, our students, and our efforts to evolve and advance educational opportunities for all segments of society.
To address the financial, academic, and personal challenges that our undergraduates face in earning their degrees, Penn State has created a range of programs that can help students succeed, including initiatives like Achieve Penn State, institutional scholarships, and student aid. Further, our unique education model extends access to our world-class education by allowing anyone the opportunity to attend where, when, and how they want.
