Penn State York: Dual Enrollment College-in-High School

Dual Enrollment College-in-High School

Penn State York offers high school students the opportunity to take college courses on campus at a 50 percent tuition reduction. This enables students to get a jump on their college careers by earning college credits while still in high school. Students participating in this program may choose from a variety of courses offered at Penn State York and the Lancaster Center.

High school students taking advantage of this exciting opportunity may earn an additional $1,000 scholarship for their first year in college by completing four courses (12 credits) and maintaining a 3.0 (B) grade-point average. This additional scholarship would apply to any student enrolling for his/her freshman year at Penn State York.
