Raise Me
Students who enroll at Pennsylvania Community Colleges and transfer to Penn State Commonwealth campuses can earn a baccalaureate degree at considerable savings.
You can save thousands of dollars in Penn State tuition annually by enrolling at one of Penn State’s 19 Commonwealth campuses, and by adding a RaiseMe award, you can earn up to a maximum of $7,000 more over two years of enrollment at Penn State.
The best part is that you can start earning your Penn State RaiseMe scholarship while you are working toward graduation at a community college. Earn micro-scholarships for things you’re already doing – getting good grades, participating in co-curricular activities, volunteering in your community, and more. When you transfer to Penn State, your micro-scholarships will be converted to a Penn State scholarship.
How do you know if you're a transfer student?
