<p>Hi....</p>
<p>My D will be attending Penn State this fall.... </p>
<p>If anyone has been accepted and would like to share their positive and negative comments about the financial aid situation, please leave a thread... I would like to know what the school is doing to correct this situation as many students are parents are struggling to find the resources to pay the tuition....</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
<p>has been a continuing problem for quite a few years
the University as far as I know has done nothing. PSU
practices a form of educational apartheid</p>

<p>I received and email from an associate to President Spanier
a few minutes ago - The guy explained that because of various
factors, including a relatively low endownment PSU was not
able to provide the kind of aid that other colleges provide.
He did mention a new fundraising campaign to improve scholarship
resources. In other words - no change.</p>
<p>Agree totally with speedo. They have the 8th worst financial aid in the nation according to a reliable source (either US News or Business week). Their staff are not too user-friendly either.</p>
