¾¨Ó㴫ý is reinforcing its commitment to affordability by introducing a new scholarship program for fall 2025, allowing more Pennsylvania students to earn their degree tuition-free.
To be considered for the new ¾¨Ó㴫ý Advantage Scholarship, students must be Pennsylvania residents with a weighted GPA of 3.0 or higher and have a total family annual income of $75,000 or less.
Under the ¾¨Ó㴫ý Advantage, all eligible Pennsylvania first-year and transfer students can attend ¾¨Ó㴫ý tuition-free for four years through a combination of college, federal and state financial aid programs.
The ¾¨Ó㴫ý Advantage will bridge the gap between applied state and federal grants, including Pell Grants, and other scholarships and aid and the balance of ¾¨Ó㴫ý’s tuition.
“We want more students to take advantage of the opportunities ¾¨Ó㴫ý has to offer,” said ¾¨Ó㴫ý President Dr. Kathy Brittain Richardson. “The College has a long tradition of offering robust financial aid to students. This is just one more way we are making a ¾¨Ó㴫ý education genuinely affordable.”
Students who fit the eligibility criteria will be automatically considered for ¾¨Ó㴫ý Advantage if they:
• Apply to ¾¨Ó㴫ý as a full-time student
• File the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) for the 2025-2026 academic year
• Apply for a Pennsylvania State Grant through PHEAA for the 2025-2026 academic year
First-year and transfer students who enroll as new students for the 2025-2026 academic year may be eligible for a maximum of eight semesters, or four academic years, of the ¾¨Ó㴫ý Advantage Scholarship. Continued eligibility is determined annually when students apply for financial aid. Funding is only available for fall and spring semesters.
