Other Scholarships
Talented and committed students are the lifeblood of Penn State, and few forms of philanthropy provide as direct and essential assistance as gifts to create undergraduate scholarships.
- Endowed scholarships ensure that a donor's gift will continue to provide essential scholarship support to worthy Penn State students in perpetuity.
- In addition to the Trustee Matching Scholarship Program, and the Renaissance Scholarship, many opportunities exist for donors to endow a scholarship that will benefit the students of their choice.
- Donors can also make smaller gifts to scholarship funds in campuses and colleges through the Annual Fund.
