FAFSA COMPLETION SESSION

The Pennsylvania Careerlink in Waynesburg will offer free FAFSA Completion Sessions on April 12, 2018 from 9:00 AM until 3:00 PM. The sessions, designed 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 the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency (PHEAA).

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 federal student loans. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to find out about the student aid that is available to help finance college expenses.

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; however, families should submit their FAFSA as early as possible to ensure meeting earlier financial aid deadlines that may be required by selected schools. Families must register to attend by calling 412-904- 8545.
