The deadline for the Jane Ireland Student Fund scholarship is fast approaching! This scholarship is awarded exclusively to undergraduate degree students attending Penn State World Campus for the spring or summer semesters. The deadline to apply is Sunday, September 15, 2013.

The Jane Ireland Student Fund was started by the eponymous Jane Ireland, who was an academic adviser at the World Campus for over 10 years. It is supported by World Campus staff members and students who want to help adult learners meet tuition costs and pursue a Penn State education from a distance.

Applicants must meet the following criteria to be eligible:

• currently enrolled in a World Campus undergraduate degree program


• have completed a minimum of 9 credits in their World Campus program


• have earned a cumulative 3.0 GPA (or higher)


• have a FAFSA on file with the Office of Student Aid and show financial need

The application requires a form, a personal statement (limited to 500 words), an essay question response (limited to 500 words), and one letter of recommendation from a professional reference such as a supervisor, pastor, or education counselor. With the deadline just over a week away, we encourage you to apply and recommend that you start to put these items together now if you have not done so already.

Please visit the World Campus Scholarships page for details and to apply!
