Presidential Scholarship
Barnes and Noble has endowed the Presidential Scholarship for first-year students admitted to the Altoona College Honors Program. The
scholarship is competitive and amounts to about $1000 for the
student’s first year at Altoona College (for both Fall and Spring semesters). If the student remains in good standing in the Program
(3.33 GPA or better), then the scholarship will be renewed for the student’s
sophomore year. The Presidential scholarship is awarded competitively.
The top students are determined by SAT scores and high school GPA. Financial need is also considered. The number of Presidential Scholarships
available is typically five each year but depends on endowment earnings.
This scholarship is for study at Penn State Altoona only.Penn State Altoona Honors Scholarship
