Tuition Grant Information

Penn State University has authorized two scholarship funds that provide a limited number of tuition grants exclusively for international students: 

The Special International Grant-in-Aid (SIGIA) and the Penn State Tuition Assistance Grant (PSTAG). 

These funds are administered through the International Student and Scholar Advising (ISSA). Although tuition grants are available for graduate students from other sources, these are the only tuition scholarships for which undergraduate international students are eligible. Typically, these grants range from $100 to $2000.

The application form is available in iStart. While SIGIA is available to both graduate and undergraduate international students, PSTAG is available only to undergraduates. 

All applications will be reviewed by a staff committee. Upon selection of awardees, ISSA representative will notify the applicant of their nomination or non-selection.
