Student scholarships are awarded yearly at the Student Send-Off in July to local students, in good standing at any of the Penn State campuses. Students are chosen based on academics and a written personal statement. The University provides the names of eligible students, based on their standings (semester 3 or greater) and invitations to apply are sent in June via email and USPS. A panel of alumni review the applicant’s letters, which are voided of names, and score them based on a standardized rubric.
Since 1993 our chapter has awarded over $55,000 in scholarship money through our endowed scholarship fund. Activities throughout the year help to fund the scholarships we give. In 2024, we awarded 3 student scholarships thanks to the generosity of our chapter!
