College Scholarships
To recognize the accomplishments of our students, the College of Health and Human Development awards over $1,250,000 annually in scholarships and awards. Depending on the scholarship or award, funds are given on the basis of academic achievement, financial need, school or community activities, leadership positions, and work experience. Students must be enrolled in the College of Health and Human Development. Some scholarships and awards require enrollment in a specific major. For questions or additional information go to CHHD Scholarships or contact Doug Ford (dof1@psu.edu) at 814-863-6790.
TO APPLY: All continuing HHD students wishing to be considered for scholarships must complete an online application. All incoming freshmen students as well as transfer students from outside the Penn State system will automatically be considered and are not required to complete the application.
