The PDA program provides need-based awards to undergraduate and graduate students at Coppin State University. Some awards are merit based in that the donor has specified that the recipient should have a certain grade point average or discipline. Awards are renewable based on funding.

• Must have completed at least 12 credits at the undergraduate level (9 at graduate level)
• Must be in good academic standing (current & cumulative GPA will be considered)
• Must demonstrate financial need

Applications are accepted annually for the approaching school year. Students must plan to register or be registered for the upcoming semester prior to submitting the application. Students must also apply for Federal Financial Aid prior to applying for PDA funds. When applications are reviewed, the applicants financial need will be assessed with information received from the Financial Aid Office.

The PDA program committee will decide which applicants will be awarded. In most cases, PDA funds will not cover a student's entire tuition bill. The award program is designed to provide funding to a student whose bill is not totally covered by Financial Aid or other funding sources. Awards given are based on the availability of funds in the endowment portfolio.
