Peters Township Public Library will offer a free FAFSA completion session at 6:30 p.m. Jan. 22.
The workshop, for college-bound seniors and their parents, provides the opportunity to receive help completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid and ask questions related to the financial aid process.
Information will be provided by Jayeann Harr, higher education access partner of the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency. Space is limited, and registration is required by emailing programs@ptlibrary.org, calling 724-941-9430, or visiting the library circulation desk.
Families should be aware of FAFSA filing deadlines for all schools being considered and meet the earliest date.
The deadline for submitting FAFSA to determine eligibility for a need-based Pennsylvania State Grant is May 1, and Aug. 1 for first-time students entering programs of study at community colleges, business, trade or technical schools and hospital schools of nursing.
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.
