Once accepted into the program, the registration for high school students needs to be completed by a parent/guardian. Additional parent/guardian permission slips will be required for any EnvironMentors field trips and campus events.
Each high school student participant of Penn State EnvironMentors will receive a stipend to be put towards general expenses, such as transportation or office supplies.
