Open Doors

Donor-funded scholarships can reduce the cost of a Penn State degree, the time that students—especially those from low-income households—take to earn it, and the educational debt that can limit our graduates’ ambitions and achievements. Penn State Abington can have a vast impact on the economic mobility of our students, the diversity of the American workforce, and the affordability of public higher education nationwide. 

To learn how you can create a named scholarship fund for Penn State Abington students and open doors to a Penn State degree, contact Karen Weiss Jones, Director of Development, at [email protected] or by calling 215-881-7399.
