The Penn Fund is here for YOU.

SCROLL
The Penn Fund is a major source of support that helps make your student experience extraordinary.

Gifts to The Penn Fund are immediately directed to areas of the University that need resources the most, such as undergraduate financial aid, residential and campus life, and academic enhancement. By getting involved with The Penn Fund even before you graduate, you can play a vital role in continuing a longstanding tradition of student philanthropy at Penn.

New Student Orientation (NSO) is our first chance to welcome incoming undergraduate students and families and set them up for a successful University career. During NSO, Penn’s campus will be bursting with exciting academic, cultural, and social events that you can be involved in, too.
