Make History. Endow a Scholarship.
| |
The need for scholarships is real. Here are some real numbers: |
||
| • Today, almost 40% of Penn's undergraduates receive direct financial support from the University. • For the 2008-09 academic year, the average direct grant received by a student on financial aid was over $27,222. • Today, the undergraduate scholarship endowment covers only 19% of the University's financial aid budget, requiring the University to use a significant portion of its operating budget to bridge the gap. • Penn needs to raise $350 million for undergraduate scholarship endowment. This is 10% of Penn's Campaign -- a huge investment for Penn. The University's annual grant aid to students will increase more than 20%, to over $110 million per year. |  Undergraduate Scholarships: 10% of Penn's Campaign |
||
| Penn is eliminating student loans from all financial aid packages; many aided students from families with lower incomes will no longer pay tuition. This is an unprecedented commitment for Penn. | |||
