<p>Hi Coleman,</p>
<p>First, congratulations on your statistics, and I hope that you will consider applying to Penn State. Based on what luvthej asserts, I’m not sure if the following will still hold true for this year, but it may provide some additional points for your review.</p>
<p>Thread from last year discussing scholarships:</p>
<p><a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/penn-state-university-park/1430986-psu-announces-new-scholarship-funding-freshmen.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/penn-state-university-park/1430986-psu-announces-new-scholarship-funding-freshmen.html</a></p>
<p>Also the number of Pennsylvania high school graduates is projected to decline to 137,026 by 2015-16 possibly impacting the number of applications to Penn State? </p>
<p>Lastly, there are “Scholarship Opportunities for Future First-Year Students” that require an additional application process listed on the COE website which you may want to review. There are deadlines associated with those competitive scholarships.</p>
<p>Good luck with your decision making!</p>
