PSU Scholarships

<p>^^^ Congratulations! All first-time students admitted to Schreyer automatically get the $4000/year scholarship as long as they maintain some minimum GPA, which I can’t recall.</p>

<p>Just a little more anecdotal Provost Scholarship info to throw into the mix: the young man we know, who got the $6000 a year award last year and was admitted to Eberly, had an outstanding GPA, but he never took chemistry or calculus in high school. I believe he took honors level math and science, but never got beyond pre-algebra, so clearly GPA is more important than the rigor of the high school curriculum for certain awards (i.e., Provost), whereas for Schreyer, you better have both, and then some, which alas our kid with a 1500 CR/M score in all the most advanced classes and a 3.9 all-academic GPA didn’t.</p>

<p>As a family we have to decide if Penn State is worth being full pay when other schools are offering major merit money for his stats.</p>

<p>So just got my bill for the semester and it seems I have received this Bunton Waller Scholarship. It never popped up on my aid before and so I emailed the office of student aid. Did anyone else receive this that can provide more information. 8,800 a year is a very pleasant surprise haha.</p>

<p>The Bunton-Waller Scholarship</p>

<p>Full-time students in resident instruction (not available for World Campus students) who have the highest financial need are considered for the Bunton-Waller Scholarship. The annual award is $3200, renewable for up to four years, provided the student maintains a 2.50 GPA</p>
