- Go to MyPennState!
Review your financial aid summary in LionPath.
-
As an admitted student who has filed their FAFSA, you can view your financial aid award summary and complete any Student Aid To Do List items in LionPath. Learn how to view your aid summary.

Make your plan to pay or finance your educational costs that are not covered by financial aid. Contact our campus Financial Aid Counselors for assistance.
-
Haven't filed your FAFSA? There is still time to apply for financial aid! In order to receive financial aid students and their families must complete the FAFSA.

Attend an Accepted Student Program.

This is an opportunity to learn more about what it is like to be a Penn State student and hear important next steps. For more information please visit us on the Visit page.
Accept your offer.
- If you choose to attend Penn State – and we hope you will – login to your MyPennState account to accept your offer of admission. When you accept your offer, you are telling the University that you intend to enroll.
Submit your nonrefundable deposit.
- When you accept your offer of admission, you will be asked to submit an enrollment deposit which will secure your spot as a student at Penn State. Students intending to live in our Lions Gate residence hall will have an additional housing deposit. See more information on our residence hall.
Submit your final high school transcript.
- Penn State requires students who have accepted their offer of admission to provide documentation that indicates the student’s high school completion status. Once you have completed your high school graduation, be sure to submit your final high school transcript documentation. Here is how to submit your High School transcripts.
Pay your bill.
- Bills are available to view/pay in LionPath in early August for fall semester and early January for spring semester. See here for further information about your bill or payment plan options.
