Why Partner with the State System Foundation?
The State System fuels Pennsylvania’s economy as nearly 800,000 alumni live and work in every one of Pennsylvania’s 67 counties.
The State System enrolls over 85,000 students, with 90% hailing from PA. 33% are first-generation students, and 63% of graduates are still living & working in PA one decade after graduation.
State System universities have seen a pronounced increase in enrollments in programs identified as high-need areas, including STEM and healthcare-related programs.
When combined (STEM-H), these represent the most popular areas of study, accounting for about one-third of the graduates receiving a bachelor’s degree from a State System university. Business, the second most popular field of study, accounts for about one-fourth of those now graduating.
