State Grants in Pennsylvania
Most states offer their own state-wide grants to help residents obtain an affordable education. Here are some of the most prominent state-wide grants in Pennsylvania:
Pennsylvania State Grant Program (PHEAA)
The PHEAA offers funding for Pennsylvania students who are enrolled at least half-time in an institution and program approved by PHEAA. Students must meet certain academic and financial criteria in order to qualify.
PA Targeted Industry Program (PA-TIP)
The TIP program offers need-based funding for Pennsylvania students who are pursuing degrees in one of their designated high-demand career areas. As of 2023, these fields were:
- Energy
- Health
- Advanced Materials and Diversified Manufacturing
- Agriculture and Food Production
Pennsylvania Tuition Reciprocity Agreements
Pennsylvania is not a member of any tuition reciprocity agreements. That means students in neighboring states will not receive tuition discounts in Pennsylvania, and vice-versa. However, if you live elsewhere, be sure to investigate these agreements to find out if your state participates in one.
