<p>Hi. Just wondering if Penn State has specific cut-offs ( GPA / SAT/ ECs ) for their honors programs and merit scholarships ? My son, a junior now, is unlikely to receive any financial aid and coming from out of state, even a few $$ in merit award would be helpful. He is a pretty good student, A-, 2140 SAT ( taking it over in May ), editor of school papers, JSA member, Natl. Honor society, a few other stuff. Then again, I guess most kids seeking the honors program and/or merit aid probably have good stats as well. Thanks.
Good luck in your studies. Marc</p>

<p>Penn State also has departmental scholarships that may be offered in addition to SHC merit money.</p>
