FREE FAFSA COMPLETION SESSION

In partnership with the
Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency (PHEAA), the library
will offer a free FAFSA Completion Session. This workshop, for
college-bound seniors and their parents, offers help in completing the
Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
by providing an overview of each step of the form. Preregistration is required for this program.

Register for this program online, at the library's circulation desk or call 724-941-9430.

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.
Families should be aware of FAFSA filing deadlines for all schools being
considered and meet the earliest one. 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.
