Student Referral Program

Your Recommendation Matters

As a student or graduate of Penn State, you are our biggest advocate and play an important role in our future.

By referring family, friends, and co-workers to us, you’ll not only help them achieve their professional goals, but also grow our network and continue a tradition of academic excellence.

And to say thank you, we’ll send you a gift card when they enroll.

Who can enter: The referral program is open to all current students and alumni of Penn State at The Navy Yard or Penn State Great Valley who are in good academic and financial standing with the University.

How to enter: Complete the referral form with the name and contact information of a potential student along with your first and last name, email, and mailing address. There is no limit on how many students you can refer. Prospective students who requested information within the last 60 days do not qualify as referrals.

Award: If the potential student applies and enrolls in a master's degree, graduate certificate, or noncredit program offered at The Navy Yard or elsewhere through Penn State Great Valley within six months of your referral, you will receive a gift card. The gift card will be sent to your mailing address provided in the form, and undeliverable gift cards will be forfeited. Referral and enrollment verification will be completed approximately once every six weeks.
