@rbc2018 Unfortunately, Penn State does not. Regardless, it would not be included in your letter of acceptance. Penn State does have a âMillennium Scholarsâ program, which grants full-tuition. Iâm not sure if deadline for that application has passed or not, but you can find a button for it on the portal.
