Major changes being made to the Free Application for Federal Student Aid will be discussed from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Feb. 9 at Peters Township Public Library. The program, held in partnership with the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency, offers help for college-bound seniors and their parents in completing the FAFSA by providing an overview of each step of the form.
Advance registration is required by emailing programs@ptlibrary.org or calling 724-941-9430.
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 to submit FAFSA to determine eligibility for a need-based Pennsylvania State Grant for renewal applicants or first-time applicants entering a degree program or a college transferable program is May 1. The deadline for first-time students entering community colleges, business, trade or technical schools and hospital schools of nursing is Aug. 1.
