I know that it is given out starting in December (rolling).
I know everyone who is accepted is considered.
But what is the actual criteria? Anyone know?
Eligibility Information
- Consideration is given to Pennsylvania and non-Pennsylvania residents.
- Recipients must be NEW undergraduate first-year students to the University.
- Every student with an offer of admission to Penn State (other than World Campus) is considered for the award.
- Students do not have to apply for the award – they are automatically considered.
- Penn State recommends submitting a FAFSA, although it is not a requirement to be eligible for the award.
- The award cannot be combined with the Discover Penn State Award.
Thanks for the information. I had read the Penn State page, but was hoping someone with first hand knowledge would know why one person would be picked over another… You know, what they are actually looking for. The criteria seems vague and random at best.
