Schreyer Honors College applicants to be eligible for new scholarships
10/18/2007
Penn State's Schreyer Honors College announces the availability of 15 new scholarships to be awarded to students being offered admission for fall 2008. The total amount of these scholarships is in excess of $175,000.
The scholarships, being made available through a gift from Bill and Joan Schreyer, the college's founders, will range from $7,500 to $25,000 annually. Each scholarship will be renewable for four years, provided the recipient remains in good academic standing with the college.
"The Schreyer Honors College is committed to providing top students with the opportunity to pursue excellence here at Penn State," said Christian M. M. Brady, the college's dean. "It is our hope that these scholarships will make this unparalleled educational experience accessible to applicants who best demonstrate the intellectual curiosity and social responsibility of being a Schreyer Scholar."
The $10,000 and $7,500 scholarships will be in addition to the $3,500 Academic Excellence Scholarship awarded to all incoming first-year Schreyer Scholars. The AES is renewed throughout a Scholar's four years of study provided the student maintains a 3.33 GPA annually.
Applicants being considered for the scholarships will be notified by the Schreyer Honors College of eligibility in early February 2008. Scholarship recipients will be selected based upon their application credentials and an interview conducted by Schreyer Honors College representatives.
