I’ve just received an email regarding my financial aid summary, and when I checked on elion, the only source of aid on there was federal aid; there was no institutional aid. So is the summary complete? Does anyone else have the same problem?
@Sunrise97 Penn State usually doesn’t give aid. They are well known, and it is well documented in this thread that Penn State gives very little aid - especially if you are not Schreyers. Schreyers students get some merit aid, but most students at Penn State get federal aid - not institutional aid.
@jlhpsu Thanks for the info.
@Sunrise97 Hopefully you applied to other schools that are affordable. I told my kids that there was no use applying to Penn State, as we couldn’t afford it, even with maximum Pell and state (PHEAA) grants, possible SEOG, work study, and student loans. My son recently received a fairly good financial aid package from IUP. IUP’s honors college is well regarded, although obviously not in the same category as Schreyer.
