If your parent was a Pennsylvania National Guard member who died as a direct result of performing their official duties, this program waives tuition, fees and on-campus room and board at Pennsylvania public postsecondary institutions. The waiver only covers charges left on your account after all other grants, including federal, state and outside scholarships, have been applied.
