Penn State’s Office of Government and Community Relations is encouraging all Penn Staters to speak up and voice support Penn State’s 2023-24 state appropriation, which is now more than three months past due. The advocacy campaign through Advocate Penn State urges support for the 7.1% funding increase proposed by Gov. Josh Shapiro in his inaugural budget. The increase would be Penn State’s first increase in state funding since a 2% bump in 2019-20. All Penn Staters are encouraged to go to advocate.psu.edu to participate in the most recent advocacy campaign to show support for state funding, which allows the University to offer a significant in-state tuition discount to more than 42,000 Pennsylvania resident Penn State students.
