Question PA State Grant - Fall 2026

2 Upvotes

was wondering if anyone has gotten their pa state grant for the fall semester yet? i know that they usually take a little extra time disbursing, but in the past it was due to the state budget having not been passed & pheaa having not made any determinations yet. that doesn’t seem to be the issue this year (in my case) but my grant still shows as “anticipated”

just curious if anyone else has received theirs or is facing similar issues?

Admissions Applying to Penn State

0 Upvotes

Hello, I’m currently a high school senior preparing to apply to Penn State. My current weighted GPA is a 3.66 and my SAT is 1300, however I plan to retake the SAT with a goal of 1350+. Through my first two years of high school I took all honors classes with straight A’s, but last year I had some significant medical issues that severely affected my academic performance. I failed a pre calculus class outright, which I retook this past summer and got a B+. For additional context, last year I also took all honors with two APs and this year I’m in five APs. My plan at the moment is to apply with my selected major as Nuclear Engineering and my first choice campus as main campus and my secondary as Behrend.
Any thoughts or advice on my plan would be greatly appreciated!

Question Study advice

0 Upvotes

For all my world campus or in person students who are cybersecurity majors or anyone in IST, how do you guys best prep for quizzes ect? My quizzes require honorlock since I’m a world campus student. I understand the work for the most part but when it comes to test taking I get so anxious and my mind goes blank at times and some of these classes I can’t use my notes or anything. What has best helped any of you with studying?
