Students walking on 40th Street Bridge

At Penn, undergraduate financial aid is not simply a priority — it is part of our identity.

We believe that talent, not financial means, should determine who can attend and thrive here. This belief has a name, the Quaker Commitment, and it is our pledge to every student we admit: Penn will be possible for you.
