Importance of Scholarships

Scholarship donors Bernie and Lynn Andreoli, Kate McAndrew, and Carl Weinschenk share the importance of education and what giving a scholarship means to them.

Invest in the future generations of Penn Staters.

Higher education today presents more opportunities for learning, innovation, and experience than ever before.

In an age of declining public support and rising costs, private philanthropy is essential for sustaining the quality of a Penn State education and for making its benefits available to all. On this site you can learn more about some of the opportunities for philanthropic support that now exist at Penn State.

In addition to cash contributions, several options for investment exist, including:

  • Securities
  • Estate Assets
  • Life Insurance
  • Pension Benefits and other Retirement Accounts
  • Real Estate
  • Personal Property
  • Matching Gifts 

Different gifts offer different tax advantages. Some gifting options provide an income stream or other benefits.
