Does anyone know when will Penn State release the Financial Aid information for admitted students?
@moms2024 , PSU sends out notifications for new students and transfers in mid Feb. Current students donât receive any word until mid June. Itâs my understanding from this site, along with PSU parents FB page, that financial aid and merit tend to be disappointing. Penn State has lots of high stat / high achieving kids from whom to pick who pay full price. It doesnât mean it wonât happen, but prepare to be underwhelmed by the offer. Unlike other schools, they donât meet 100% of need. And a lot of âaidâ takes the form of loans as opposed to grants.
Accepted to main campus!!!
1500 SAT, 3.8 GPA, mom and grandmother are legacy.
SO happy 
Family tradition continues!!!

His extenuating circumstance is that he has mild epilepsy and that he had to battle and overcome effects of that with ADD and mild speech difficulties and tics. He wrote an essay that encompasses his struggles and accomplishments with respect to this. That had to hold some weight as his academics were borderline at best for Main Campus. He has been accepted to all of the other schools he applied to but this was by far his number one choice.
@Sophley, Thank you for your response. Very helpful info.
