Join Us for Virtual PA State Grant System Office Hours and Knowledge Series Webinars

Our virtual office hours are back and running every other Monday through the end of the year. In addition to the office hours, join our team once a month for Knowledge Series sessions as we highlight features and functionalities available within the PA State Grant System.

Office Hours

Drop in for office hours via Microsoft Teams to talk about the PA State Grant System. You can check-in with PHEAA staff, review technical questions, ask about navigation, and more!

Office hours will be available from 1:00-3:00 PM (ET) on the dates listed, unless a webinar is scheduled. If a webinar date coincides with an office hours session, the office hours will run from 1:00-2:00 PM (ET) and the Knowledge Series session will run from 2:00-3:00 PM (ET).

2024-25 PHEAA Annual Workshops

We have completed our journey through the 2024-25 PHEAA Annual Workshops. Our PA State Grant and Special Programs Department conducts these annual workshops to provide financial aid administrators at participating postsecondary institutions with PA State Grant Program updates and opportunities to explore various aspects of program administration. This year's workshops also included a tune-up of some eligibility certification and program review requirements for the PA State Grant, as well as an overview of current and upcoming features with our new PA State Grant System.

We thank the institutions that attended a training event this summer. We also extend a special thank you to the postsecondary institutions that assisted us by hosting a workshop!

If you could not attend a workshop this year, please check back with us for future training opportunities later this year. We also invite you to check out our other events and self-service program materials if you need more information about the PA State Grant and Special Services.

We encourage you to review the self-service materials (such as web recordings, policy materials, FAQ, etc.) that are available for the PA State Grant and Special Programs. These resources are available on the Resources and Training page and in the Document Library. Please contact us via PA State Grant System Message Center or through one of our program inboxes if you have specific training needs for your organization.
