Pennsylvania’s 10 state universities that comprise PASSHE deliver high‑quality, affordable post‑secondary education to students across the commonwealth.
Our universities play a critical role in advancing social mobility, fueling Pennsylvania’s workforce, and driving economic growth — fulfilling this mission with a commitment to efficiency, ensuring that public dollars are used responsibly and effectively.
PASSHE universities have reclaimed the affordability advantage, as evidenced by:
- increased enrollment of Pell-recipient students
- increased enrollment of transfer students
- increased enrollment of first-generation students, and
- record-high student retention.
Because PASSHE universities are affordable, more students can start and finish their degree. We provide the talent that powers the commonwealth’s economy and anchors its communities. Our universities need resources to deliver life‑changing opportunities for students and ensure Pennsylvania’s long-term economic vitality.
