Penn State Alumni Association allocates $300,000 for scholarships

Following up on its historic 2008 pledge of $2.1 million to support scholarships across the University, the Penn State Alumni Association has allocated the second of the pledge's seven installments of $300,000. This year's gift will create four Penn State Alumni Association Trustee Scholarships, each endowed with $50,000 for the 2009-10 academic year in the College of Agricultural Sciences, and at Penn State Abington, Penn State Greater Allegheny, and Penn State Worthington Scranton. An additional $100,000 will fund scholarships in the Penn State Dickinson School of Law to support recruitment of Penn State undergraduates. (more)
