The College of Information Sciences and Technology, in partnership with Penn State, offers need and merit-based scholarships to undergraduate students thanks to the generosity of alumni, corporate partners, and friends.
If you're a full-time student enrolled at University Park and meet the eligibility criteria below, you'll automatically be considered for most scholarships based on your FAFSA and Pell eligibility—no separate application needed. The only exceptions are the David Rusenko Entrepreneur Scholarships and the Scholarship for Service program, which require separate applications.
Awards are typically announced by mid-summer and are not automatically renewed unless stated by the donor.
Thank Your Donor
All IST scholarship recipients are expected to send a thank you letter to their scholarship donor.
Complete the form below to say thanks, and remember to resubmit it often to share updates on your academic progress, research, or post-graduation plans.
Say Thanks!
