UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — To support current and future Pennsylvania students and families; to benefit the state's economy; to maintain the University's quality as a top 1% global university; and to create parity between Penn State and all other public universities in Pennsylvania, Penn State is requesting significantly increased funding from the commonwealth for the coming fiscal year. University leaders are asking that Penn State's per-student funding, which currently ranks last among the state's public universities, be increased to align with that of the next lowest-funded Pennsylvania public university on a per-student basis.
