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 gives out over $3.8 million in scholarship support each year.

The 2025 Scholarships and Awards Donor Celebration will be held on Tuesday, November 18, 2025. 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 2025-26 academic year, you are eligible to apply to be a speaker in the college's annual Scholarships and Awards Donor Celebration on November 18, 2025. Being a speaker at this annual celebration is an honor and a great resume-builder.
