@rbc2018 Penn State is unfortunately known for giving very little merit aid. They do give it to those accepted into the Honors Program, but other than that from what I have heard it’s very rare. It’s not given until later on in the process so would not be in the acceptance letter.
My photo is Old Main, but I thought it was different before… what is everyone’s photo and we’re you accepted yet?
