Scholarship
North Carolina Triangle Chapter of the Penn State Alumni Association Scholarship
The scholarship provides recognition and financial assistance to students enrolled or planning to enroll at The Pennsylvania State University who have a demonstrated need for funds to meet their necessary college expense.
Five dollars of the Triangle Chapter's $15 membership dues is set aside to further fund the scholarship.
You can donate to our endowed Scholarship to Penn State via our online membership form. In addition, donations may be made anytime through the University and are entirely tax-deductible. Use the designation SXXTR to be sure your donation is allocated to the scholarship.
The Chapter began fund raising for the scholarship in 1995. The endowed scholarship was created in 2002.
Application
In the spring, the Chapter will receive a list of all eligible students for the Triangle Chapter's scholarship. Eligibility is determined by GPA (2.5 minimum) and financial need (students must submit a FAFSA form to Penn State), and North Carolina residency. We take into consideration that first year students do not have a GPA and consult with Penn State's Office of Student Aid when necessary.
Eligible students will be contacted by the Chapter and asked to write a short essay and submit it to the Chapter's Board of Directors for review.
The amount of the award varies from year to year.
