FAFSA Completion Session
Major changes being made to the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) will be discussed at Peters Township Public Library on Tuesday, February 9 from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. This program, held in partnership with the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency (PHEAA), offers help for college-bound seniors and their parents in completing the FAFSA by providing an overview of each step of the form.
Preregistration is required for this free program. Register by emailing programs@ptlibrary.org or call 724-941-9430.
The FAFSA is used to determine if students qualify for almost all forms of need-based financial assistance, including the Pennsylvania State Grant, Federal Pell Grant, many scholarships, work-study programs, many school-based awards, and low-cost federal student loans. Families should be aware of FAFSA filing deadlines for all schools being considered and meet the earliest one.
The deadline for submitting the FAFSA to determine eligibility for a need-based Pennsylvania State Grant is May 1 for renewal applicants or first-time applicants entering a degree program or a college transferable program. The deadline for first-time students entering programs of study at community colleges, business, trade or technical schools, and hospital schools of nursing is August 1.
