Scholarship
Triangle Chapter of the Penn State Alumni Association Scholarship
The scholarship provides recognition and financial assistance to students enrolled or planning to enroll at The Pennsylvania State University who have a demonstrated need for funds to meet their necessary college expenses.
Five dollars of the Triangle Chapter's $15 membership dues is set aside to further fund the scholarship.
You can donate to our endowed Scholarship to Penn State via our online payments page. In addition, donations may be made anytime through the University and are entirely tax-deductible. Use the designation SXXTR to be sure your donation is allocated to the scholarship.
The Chapter began fund raising for the scholarship in 1995. The endowed scholarship was created in 2002.
2020-2021 Winners - Lindsay Madden and Lindsey Rogers
This year’s 2020-2021 Triangle Chapter scholarship was awarded to Lindsay Madden and Lindsey Rogers. The scholarship award was in the amount of $5,392.00, which is again the highest scholarship award our Chapter has ever awarded! Thanks to all of our Chapter’s members generous donations throughout the years to our scholarship fund. It is an incredible opportunity that we have as a chapter to be able to help current students pay for the increasing cost in college tuition.
Lindsay Madden is from Wake Forest, NC. She is an Animal Science major in her Sophomore year at University Park. She is a member of the following clubs at school: Pennsylvania State Club Swimming, PSU Pre-Vet Club & PSU Poultry Science Club. Her parents are alumni of Penn State.
Lindsey Rogers is from Durham, NC. She is an incoming freshman majoring in Chemistry at University Park. Her parents & grandparents are alumni of Penn State which is why she chose to come to Penn State.
Application
In late spring, the Chapter will receive a list of all eligible students from the University for the Triangle Chapter's scholarship. Eligibility is determined by GPA (2.5 minimum) and financial need (students must submit a FAFSA form to Penn State), and North Carolina residency. We take into consideration that first year students do not have a GPA and consult with Penn State's Office of Student Aid when necessary.
Eligible students will be contacted by the Chapter and asked to complete an application, write a short essay, and submit it to the Chapter's Board of Directors for review.
The amount of the award varies from year to year.
You can also make Penn State donations here.
