The Office of the Vice Provost for Educational Equity Campus Access and Success Grant began in 2007 when Penn State created an alternative program to the state-funded Pennsylvania Higher Education Equal Opportunity Act of 1971 to better serve Penn State students.

The purpose of the Campus Access and Success Grant is to increase college access, facilitate college transition, and encourage college success for Pennsylvania students who wish to attend Penn State but may not have a typical academic profile due to socio-economic disadvantages, under resourced high schools, or other systemic barriers.

Request for Proposals for Academic Year 2024-2025 is closed.
