The departmental scholarships are usually based on academic performance once a student attends penn state. They aren’t offered before usually. Look at Penn State’s scholarship page. They have a lot of good information. But basically, most scholarships range from $1500-$7000 per year and only comprise 9% of available funding. There just aren’t many scholarships.
Grants and federal programs are different - but those are need based. You would know if you qualify for that in your award letter in Feb/March.
