The Pennsylvania Board of Governors Scholarship recognizes the academic achievement of prospective students who apply and are admitted to IUP.
The annual award ranges from $1,000 to full in-state tuition. Some BOG Scholarships are renewable yearly to be applied to a maximum of eight semesters, while others are a one-time award. BOG scholarships awarded through the Sutton Scholars program are $2,000 annual awards, which may be a one-time award or renewable.
For BOG consideration, an applicant must:
- Be a U.S. citizen
- Be a permanent Pennsylvania resident
- Complete an IUP Application for Undergraduate Admission
- Complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
Please Note: Meeting minimum qualifications does not guarantee the receipt of a scholarship, only that you will be considered for one. BOG Scholarships are extremely competitive. The BOG scholarships awarded through the Office of Admissions are primarily awarded to participants in either the Promising Scholars or Sutton Scholars events. Competitive students who meet various criteria will be invited to participate in these events according to availability of awards and the strength of the applicant pool each year. Awardees will be notified by mail.
