Library offers free FAFSA Completion Session

The library will offer a free FAFSA Completion Session on Tuesday, January 22 at 6:30 p.m. This workshop, for college-bound seniors and their parents, provides the opportunity to get personalized help completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and the chance to ask questions related to the financial aid process.

Session information will be provided by Jayeann Harr, Higher Education Access Partner of the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency (PHEAA). Space is limited. Preregistration is required for this program. You can register online, call 724.941.9430, or visit 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 the FAFSA to determine eligibility for a need-based Pennsylvania State Grant is May 1 or August 1 for first-time students entering programs of study at community colleges, business, trade or technical schools, and hospital schools of nursing.

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.
