WE ARE In This Together – A Letter To Our Members

Dear Penn State Alumni and Friends,

To say these are unprecedented times is an understatement. The Orange County-Inland Empire Area Chapter of the Penn State Alumni Association (OCIEA) meets monthly online to discuss ways to bring Penn State closer to you this year. We look forward to a future where we can reconnect in person. The health and safety of our members and those around us are foremost in our minds. It’s a challenge, but we are up to the task. We miss you and we hope you feel the same.

With the fall football schedule uncertain, we’ll have little opportunity to raise money for our Endowed Student Scholarship. We take great pride in the work we’ve done to award $10,000 every year to local students seeking to join the Penn State family. Those scholarships are from your contributions at football games, membership dues, and fundraising we do all year long. But this year will be a struggle.

Now Accepting PSU Student Scholarship Applications

Each year the Orange County & Inland Empire Chapter of the Penn State Alumni Association awards scholarships to students living in Orange County and the Inland Empire who attend Penn State. Multiple scholarships are available. The application is a required combination of:

Personal Information
Compositions
Submission of your most recent College (or high school, for freshman) Transcripts

To access this year’s application, which must be filled out online via Google Forms, please go to our scholarship page: www.ocpsu.com/scholarship
