Undergraduate Scholarships

New economy technology scholarship

The SciTech Scholarship and the Technology Scholarship are both awarded through the New Economy Technology Scholarship (NETS) Program. The scholarships make financial aid available if you are an undergraduate studying in approved science or technology fields.

The goal of this program is to help address the critical need to educate and retain a workforce of highly trained technology experts that will help Pennsylvania attract and support new employers. Recipients of the scholarships must agree to work full-time in Pennsylvania following graduation, one year for each year that a scholarship award is received.

The scholarships are not based on financial need. First priority for awarding funds under this program will be given to renewal applicants. Thereafter, funds in the program will be awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. We recommend that you submit your application as soon as possible.

It is important that applicants choose a program that will maximize their contact with the populace abroad and be accepted by the University for credit.
