First-Time Endowed Scholarship Donor Matching Program: Providing the gift of educa- tion is a life-changing experience for students and philanthropists. To encourage our supporters to establish their first scholarship—directed to stu- dents with financial need who benefit from services offered at the Penn State Libraries—the University is offering a permanent 1:1 match to the principal of the endowed funds until June 30, 2021, doubling the impact on students’ lives for generations to come. Your Support, Our Future Through the Greater Penn State campaign, do- nors can partner with the Penn State Libraries in achieving our most ambitious goals. We will provide financial resources to encourage our aspiring stu- dents and support our esteemed librarians through- out their careers. We will conserve our collections for life-long scholarly learning and enjoyment, while also expanding our Maker Commons and Collaboration Commons to provide students with cutting-edge resources and technology. We will develop our Textbook and Educational Resources Endowment, empowering students to meet their full potential during their years on campus and throughout their careers. Together, we can create the resources and support to transform the Penn State Libraries and our students’ lives.
