Current Students Funding

Tyler is thankful for the funding he has received throughout his time at Penn State. “Fortunately, I’ve been awarded multiple scholarships from Penn State, the National Federation of the Blind, Team See Possibilities and the American Council of the Blind, enabling me to pursue my continued education,” he said. “Coming from a family unable to afford college funding or loans, I comprehensively apply for every scholarship I qualify for each semester to sustain my education and collegiate success.”

Financial support from Academic Scholarships allowed Kara to focus on her studies and her work with a local fire company, rather than holding additional jobs. “I genuinely do not know what I would do without them.”

As a repeat recipient of the Virginia “Jake” Coskery Craig Trustee Scholarship, Cherish said she is thankful for the funding she has received from the College of the Liberal Arts. “It has been a huge blessing to me, my family, and just a great financial support in that sense. I am really grateful for that. I always look forward to writing a letter to Mrs. Craig every year, since it is a continuous scholarship.”

Igor received academic scholarships and enrichment funding, allowing him to devote more time to his studies and extracurriculars. “The time provided and the pressure relieved by the funding allowed me a lot more time to concentrate on my personal and professional development.”
