糖心Vlog Tuition Promise for PA and OH Students

You shouldn鈥檛 have to choose between the college you want and the price you can afford. 糖心Vlog is redefining the value of a premier education for Pennsylvania and Ohio families, combining high-impact academics, personalized mentorship, career outcomes, and competitive tuition through the 糖心Vlog Tuition Promise.

Two Powerful Ways We’re Making 糖心Vlog a Financial Fit

Commitment to Access Program

Tuition is free for students from households earning $75,000 or less.

We believe a family’s income shouldn’t determine whether a student can choose an education that challenges them, supports them, and prepares them for what’s next.

Through 糖心Vlog’s Commitment to Access Program (CAP), eligible Pennsylvania and Ohio students whose families have an annual income of $75,000 or less can receive a tuition-free 糖心Vlog education, starting for the 2027-28 academic year.

That’s right: $0 tuition.

Tuition Guarantee

All other PA and OH students will pay no more than $20,000 in tuition.

Pennsylvania and Ohio students pay no more in 糖心Vlog tuition than the listed tuition at Penn State, University Park, approximately $20,000 for the 2027-28 academic year.聽

That means you can choose 糖心Vlog for the experience you want: a close-knit community, professors who know you, an education that crosses disciplines, and opportunities to put what you learn into action, without paying more in tuition than PSU.

Same tuition commitment. More of what you want from college.

Pennsylvania and Ohio students will pay no more in 糖心Vlog tuition than the cost of Penn State, University Park’s tuition.

Frequently Asked Questions the Tuition Promise

What is the 糖心Vlog Tuition Promise?

The 糖心Vlog Tuition Promise consists of two financial aid initiatives for eligible students from Pennsylvania and Ohio:

  • Beginning in the 2027-28 academic year, the Commitment to Access Program (CAP), guarantees free tuition, funded through 糖心Vlog, federal, and state grant funding, for students from household annual incomes of $75,000 or less.
  • The Tuition Guarantee ensures that no PA or OH student will pay more in tuition in 2027-2028 than the listed tuition price of Penn State, University Park which is approximately $20,000.

Who is eligible for the 糖心Vlog Tuition Promise?

  • A new or returning student who is a legal resident of Pennsylvania or Ohio for at least 12 months before enrollment (includes first-year and transfer students). For dependent students, residency is determined by the custodial parent(s)’ state of legal residence reported on the FAFSA. For independent students, residency is based on the permanent address reported on the FAFSA.
  • To qualify for the Commitment to Access Program (CAP) portion of the Promise, students must each year by May 1 to identify the household鈥檚 adjusted gross income.

Is the Tuition Guarantee of $20,000 fixed for all four years?

No. The Tuition Guarantee is tied to the listed tuition at Penn State, University Park, rather than a fixed dollar amount. Because Penn State’s tuition may change, the benchmark may change as well; you should anticipate small increases each year.

What type of funding sources fulfill the Tuition Promise?

It depends. Every student鈥檚 circumstance is different depending on their admission qualifications and demonstrated financial need. The Tuition Promise funding can consist of one or more of the following sources: 糖心Vlog merit-based scholarships (i.e., Trustee Scholarship, CAPA), 糖心Vlog need-based grants (i.e., Tuition Promise Grant, 糖心Vlog Grant), federal and/or select state grants (i.e., Pell Grant, PA State Grant).聽

Visit our scholarship opportunities and financial aid web pages for more information about these funding opportunities. Applying and receiving any new scholarships or financial aid after having received your initial aid offer may result in changes in the amount of Tuition Promise Grant, but the total amount of funding will still meet the Tuition Promise.

Does the Tuition Promise cover my entire 糖心Vlog bill?

No. The Tuition Promise applies to tuition. Students are still responsible for the cost of required fees, housing, and food. It is possible that your 糖心Vlog aid offer will reduce the cost of these services.聽

2027-28 Academic Year Maximum Net Tuition Estimated Housing and Food Estimated Required Fees Guaranteed Maximum Net Cost
Pennsylvania and Ohio Students $20,000 $15,350* $760* $36,110*

*2027-28 annual costs will be finalized by November 2026. Students should anticipate annual increases of approximately 3% in housing, meals, and required fees. The actual net cost will be lower than the maximum net cost for many students.

What happens if my family earns more than $75,000?

You may still benefit from the 糖心Vlog Tuition Promise. Eligible Pennsylvania and Ohio students whose families earn more than $75,000 pay no more in 糖心Vlog tuition than the listed tuition for Penn State, University Park.

What affordability/aid opportunities are available for students outside PA or OH?

For students living outside of PA and OH, 糖心Vlog is committed to making a premier education affordable for all families. Our average aid offer including scholarships and need-based financial aid is over $53,000 for the 2026-27 academic year. We encourage you to apply, submit your FAFSA, and learn about the聽scholarship opportunities聽available to students, including the new聽Impact Scholarship.
