Many Penn College students benefit from external or private scholarship awards to help cover the cost of education. We encourage all incoming and current students to explore the many possibilities and apply for every external scholarship you think you may be eligible to receive.
Each scholarship is unique, with its own application process, requirements, and deadlines, which are subject to change between award periods. As you consider your options, be sure to read the criteria for each scholarship carefully. Penn College strongly cautions against using any service that charges a fee, either to complete a scholarship application or to complete a FAFSA.
If you need assistance or have questions about other types of financial aid, contact the Penn College Financial Aid team.
If you are awarded a scholarship, note that each donor's notification and disbursement procedures may vary. These scholarship awards are not typically credited to your bill until the Bursar's Office receives the funds from the donor. However, you can forward your documentation for an external scholarship to the Bursar's Office for review. Bursar's staff will review your documentation to determine if they can apply an estimated credit to your bill before they receive the funds from the donor or organization. If the Bursar's Office does not receive expected funds by the end of the fifth week of the semester, the estimated credit may be removed from your bill and you will be responsible for any resulting balance due.
