The College of Agricultural Sciences (CAS) has one of the largest undergraduate scholarship programs at Penn State. For example, more than $1.5 million was awarded to over 650 College of Agricultural Sciences students in the academic year 2004-05. Students enrolled in the CAS are sent scholarship applications in early February. A combination of academic achievement and financial need is used by panels of faculty and administrators from the college and academia to determine awards for the following fall semester.
