Pennsylvania Targeted Industry Program (PA-TIP)
Main Content
The creation of PA-TIP was initiated by Governor Corbett and has been developed by PHEAA in close cooperation with his administration and the General Assembly. The program, which is funded and administered by PHEAA, provides awards to students enrolled in programs of study in the following career areas:
- Energy
- Advanced Materials and Diversified Manufacturing
- Agriculture and Food Production
PA-TIP provides need-based awards up to the equivalent of the maximum State Grant award (currently $4,348)*, or 75% of the student's total direct educational costs after gift aid and employers aid whichever is less. Awards can be used to cover tuition, books, fees, supplies, and specific living expenses.
