College Financial Aid Night

Help is on the way for parents of high school seniors and juniors getting ready to navigate their way through the college financial aid process.

In conjunction with the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency (PHEAA), the Peters Township Public Library will host a free “College Financial Aid Night” on Monday, September 27, 2010 from 6:30– 8:00 p.m. at the library. The program will be given by Jim Cardinale, Regional Director of the Pittsburgh Office of PHEAA, who will provide an overview of the financial aid process.

Parents and students are invited to the 60-minute presentation, which will describe all federal and PA-state financial aid programs, scholarships and FAFSA application processes. Other topics will include how colleges award aid to families and how financial aid deadline dates interface with the college admissions process. Loan rates and interest rates for students and parents will also be discussed. A question and answer session will follow the program.

Registration is necessary for this free program via email, at the Library's circulation desk, or call 724-941-9430.
