World Campus
World Campus students must meet Federal and Penn State Financial Aid Eligibility Requirements to receive federal funding.
Federal aid is not available for most Penn State certificate programs, including those offered through the World Campus.
To be eligible for the Pennsylvania State Grant at least 50 percent of the coursework in your approved program must be taken through resident classroom instruction, which does not include online courses.
Alternative loans may be an option if you do not meet federal and state eligibility requirements.
