Penn State News Release

Are you able to accommodate groups younger than high school juniors ?

Information Regarding Middle School Groups (when available):

We are only able to work with select middle school groups just due to time and scheduling limitations on our end. We require that middle school groups coming for a formal campus visit be coming as part of a college access-based curriculum either through the school district, state, etc. The curriculum must be specific to college access, and not just an honors/gifted program. We do not accept field trip groups. We do not provide admissions information sessions for middle school groups, but they will get a brochure with admissions information. Our formal visit includes on-campus parking, brochures, a campus tour, and the ability to schedule a meal in the dining commons at $11.95/person for lunch or $14.95/person for dinner (paid with card or check).

For groups requesting a formal visit please send a statement indicating what students will get out of the visit, and how they will be prepared to participate in a college visit. This should include information about the college program that the students are participating in. Historically speaking, middle school students aren't quite the right age group for the content we provide in a formal campus visit, so I need to learn a little more about your group before approving them and need to know that they will be properly prepared to participate. By sending a statement, it does not guarantee we will be able to approve your group to tour.

At this time, we are unable to accommodate groups younger than high school juniors (including middle school groups) but hope to be able to widen our availability in future semesters.
