Accepted Students Programs

Join us for one or both of our Accepted Student Programs (ASP) at Penn State Altoona! Our virtual ASP will provide the opportunity to learn about your next steps, financial aid, on-campus housing, student life, out-of-class learning, and more. And you’ll get to hear first-hand from current students about life at Altoona. Like what you learn? Then join us on campus for our in-person ASP to visit with our staff, speak with faculty, and take a campus tour.
