Chancellor’s Award for Graduating Seniors from Penn State


Graduating seniors from Penn State Harrisburg can receive a Chancellor’s Award in the amount of $1000 for the first year in a graduate program at the college.  This award is also available to graduating seniors from six other Penn State Commonwealth campuses.

Penn State Harrisburg is known for its small class size, strong sense of community, and close interaction among students and faculty, qualities that are enhanced by the academic resources and reputation of a major research university.  We are committed to providing intellectual challenges and broad social experiences in a supportive environment where students realize their full potential.  The Chancellor’s Award demonstrates our interest in having our undergraduates join our learning community for a graduate education.

To receive this award, graduating seniors must submit a graduate application prior to July 1, 2012.  If admitted into the program selected, the award will be added to the student’s account at that time, and applied as $500 per semester. (Please note that if receiving a graduate assistantship, one will become ineligible for the Chancellor’s Award.) If you have questions about the award, please contact Robert Coffman, director of enrollment management, at 717-948-6250.
