The Student Needs-Based Budget model, a result of extensive collaboration and data-driven strategy, will work to align funding decisions with the values of the UPFB and the diverse needs of the student community at Penn State. Critical to the new budget model is an alignment with the board’s mission to elevate the collective welfare of the student community at University Park. Transcending traditional budgetary constraints, the model will work to support and elevate student services and programs that encourage well-being and academic excellence.
