If you’ve been offered admission to the university or returning for another year, we, we encourage you to complete our online application for Penn State Lehigh Valley campus-specific scholarships! This single application allows you to be considered for all our local campus scholarship opportunities.
Please note: Many of these scholarships have a demonstrated financial need requirement which is determined through a completed FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Financial Aid). To increase your opportunity to receive a scholarship, we encourage you to submit your FAFSA by December 1 each year.
| Student Status | Priority Deadline | Notice of Awards |
|---|---|---|
| Newly Admitted Students | April 15 each year | End of May |
| Returning Students | July 15 each year | End of August |
Our scholarship application opens each year on December 1st and remains open until July 15th. Following the scholarship deadline(s), the applications will be reviewed by the scholarship committee made up of representatives within different areas throughout campus. Awards will be offered to students whom a consensus was found among the members of the committee aligned with the intent of the scholarship donor(s).
Students who are offered an award will be notified via email and mail based on the contact information provided by the student. Only students who have been offered an award will be notified.
We use a rolling scholarship process which means we will reallocate a scholarship awarded to a student if the student does not return. Your application will remain on file to be reconsidered in those instances.
