The Summer Success Scholarship helps undergraduate students who have fallen behind in their degree program and would benefit from taking a summer course to get caught up but have financial challenges to doing so. Students at all Penn State campuses are eligible to apply. Students who receive the scholarship will receive $2,000 toward their summer tuition. Eligibility requirements are as follows:

• Enrolled in at least one summer course at any Penn State campus
• Demonstrate that taking a summer course is necessary to get back on track for your degree program
• Demonstrated financial need

The deadline to apply for the scholarship for Summer 2025 was April 18, 2025. Scholarship applications for Summer 2026 will open in January 2026.
