Scholarship Celebration

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 gives out over $3.5 million in scholarship support each year.

The 2024 Scholarships and Awards Donor Celebration will be held on Thursday, November 7, 2024. 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.

If you are an undergraduate or graduate student in the College of Agricultural Sciences and have received a scholarship for the 2024-25 academic year, you are eligible to apply to be a speaker in the college's annual Scholarships and Awards Donor Celebration on November 7, 2024. Being a speaker at this annual celebration is an honor and a great resume-builder. If you are interested in this opportunity, the deadline has been extended. Please complete the self-nomination form by 11:59 p.m. on Sept. 13, 2024. 

For a student to be eligible, he/she must:

• Be an undergraduate or graduate student enrolled in the college
