Scholarships

Giving to the Alumni Association is a great way to support students. Thanks to the generosity of our members, scholarships affiliated with the association include 35 Penn State Alumni Association Trustee Scholarships, each endowed at $50,000 in 12 colleges, at 20 campuses, and three additional undergraduate units; scholarships for Penn State alumni in the Graduate School; and hundreds of scholarships established by the association’s affiliate groups. 

In 2020, Penn State’s Renaissance Fund selected the Alumni Association as its honoree, in conjunction with its 150-year anniversary celebration. The honor created an endowed Penn State Alumni Association Renaissance scholarship fund, and gifts to the fund can be made by any Penn State supporter. Renaissance Scholarships are directed to high-achieving students with great financial need.
