Philanthropic support provided by members of the Capital Society changes lives every day at Penn State Harrisburg. Without their support of scholarships, academic programs, intercollegiate athletics and more, maintaining the high-quality student experience that is expected at the Capital College would not be possible. Here is one example of many that demonstrates the kind of impact that the generosity of Capital Society members can have on our students, faculty, and the entire community:

“I am excited to be a business major at Penn State Harrisburg and part of the Men’s Basketball team as a student-athlete. Because of donor-funded scholarships and your belief in me, it will be something that I will always remember. Those who have success are those who don’t give up. This scholarship has encouraged me to never give up on my dreams and aspirations. Penn State Harrisburg is the place for me, and I will work hard to pursue my dream in earning my degree.” 
Chase Robinson, ‘26
Business Premajor

The Office of Development is pleased to work closely with Capital Society members to design a gift that maximizes impact, and provides direct support to an initiative that is most meaningful for each donor. Endowment gifts are carefully managed by Penn State to provide permanent, ongoing support for our students and programs so that the gift—and the legacy of our donors—endures for the life of the College.
