Preparation shouldn’t be a privilege. Yet each semester, some Penn State students begin classes without the basic supplies they need due to financial hardship, unexpected crises, or competing life responsibilities.
The School Supplies for Student Success initiative, launched in fall 2024, provides free essential academic supplies, like notebooks, calculators, binders, and lab materials, to undergraduate students who need them most. This program received support from the Barnes & Noble College Grant Program for the 2024-2025 academic year, helping us remove financial barriers and support your academic journey.
