The LION STEM Scholars program is a four-year scholars program (renewable scholarship & college success program) for students who start their Penn State education at the Berks campus. This program supports the successful completion of an engineering degree at Penn State among talented domestic students with demonstrated financial need.

Program Benefits:

• Up to $6,250 per year four-year renewable scholarship
• Four-week residential engineering bridge program (June 30-July 26, 2024) to prepare for the rigor of college-level STEM courses.
• Four-year multi-tiered mentoring program
