I only know of two: Zachary Battles and Rebecca Funk, but there may be more.
The first from Penn State was Tess Thompson in 1997.
As of my last update in October 2023, there have been a few Penn State football players who have achieved the prestigious Rhodes Scholarship. Notably, former linebacker and team captain Michael Mauti was awarded the scholarship in 2013. The Rhodes Scholarship is highly competitive, and while it is rare for football players to be selected, it highlights the academic excellence of some athletes at Penn State.
Students from the University of Wisconsin-Madison have won the most Rhodes Scholarships in the Big Ten, with a total of 30 through 2013. The ranked list: 1. Wisconsin: 30 2. Michigan: 25 3. Minnesota: 24 4. Nebraska: 22 5. Iowa: 18 6. Northwestern: 16 6. Michigan State: 16 8. Indiana: 14 9. Illinois: 9 10. Ohio State: 5 11. Purdue: 2 11.

This is a tough one to answer clearly. Penn State is a state-related university under its official classification. This means that the state does not have direct control over the university, however, Penn State receives substantial funding from the state. In this sense, most regard it as a "public" university, but the exact classification is unclear.
No, Penn State and the University of Pennsylvania are not the same. Penn State, officially known as Pennsylvania State University, is a public research university located in University Park, Pennsylvania. The University of Pennsylvania, often referred to as Penn, is a private Ivy League research university located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. While both institutions are prestigious and located in Pennsylvania, they have different histories, missions, and academic focuses.
No, it was founded as a agricultural institution
