Deciding what college or university is right for you is a big decision. Paying for college can feel like a complex process and is often about understanding your goals and you and your family’s ability to contribute towards this investment in your future.
At Penn State, we have tools and resources to help you to begin to understand the options and what is best for your family.
You are connected for life.
Our alumni network is one of the largest in the world, and you can rely on that network for support and opportunities—whether it be internships, jobs, or mentoring—long after you graduate.
