The College of Agricultural Sciences Scholarships and Awards Donor Celebration is held annually to celebrate the success of our students and to thank the donors who support our scholarship funds. The event brings students, donors, faculty, staff and friends together for an evening of celebration. With one of the largest scholarship programs at Penn State, the College of Agricultural Sciences awards more than $4 million in scholarship support each year. The 2026 Scholarships and Awards Donor Celebration will be held on Wednesday, November 11, 2026. This year's celebration will be held in-person at The Penn Stater Conference Center Hotel, but will also include a web-based recap for donors who cannot attend the in-person event.
