- the Curt Chandler Storytelling Fund, a nonendowed fund intended to provide support for multimedia storytelling activities and programs, both domestic and abroad, for students;
- the General Scholarship fund, which helps support students with great need;
- the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Fund, which supports our Office of Diversity and Inclusion;
- the Student Travel Fund, which supports opportunities to engage in short- and long-term domestic and international experiences; and
- the Future Fund, which helps to attract top-notch students, reward students for excellence and provides emergency funding as needed.
Support the Bellisario Media Center Technology Fund
Alumni and friends who support the Bellisario Media Center Technology Fund with gifts of $250 or more will have an ongoing presence on the center's digital donor wall — consistently reminding students they are part of a community invested in their future.

- Student Support Award: Designed to help students with extraordinary or unexpected needs, the Donald P. Bellisario College of Communications Student Support Award can help students who -- through no fault of their own -- face personal or financial curcumstances, such as a family member's job loss, illness or death that could prohibit them from completing their degree requirements at Penn State. This fund exists exclusively to help students with that type of one-time need.
