PENN REMAINS COMMITTED TO MEETING the increasing needs of talented students, for whom an Ivy-League education would not be possible without scholarship aid. Matching funds promote more giving opportunities and expand the impact of our donors who share in this commitment. We invite you to join us in supporting future generations of first-rate students who if given the opportunity, can change the world.

Challenge Funds
Our ability to leverage matching dollars that increase the power of endowed scholarships is made possible by the generous support of challenge fund donors. The impact of these gifts has been a hallmark of the undergraduate financial aid program and a significant factor in the unprecedented campaign success funding this core priority. A gift of $500,000 can create a challenge fund that will encourage up to 20 other donors to make a scholarship gift. Challenge fund donors are recognized in the same manner as endowed funds and donors are assigned up to four students each year in perpetuity.
