It's crunch time. The semester bill I received from the school has a tight deadline. The format of the bill looks different from the aid offer I received a while back. Are there any costs I need to plan for that aren't showing on the bill? What happened to the federal work study award? Will I need to borrow? If so, how much? What loan programs are available? Join Suzanne Sparrow, William McGinley, and Dan Wray of PHEAA for a 1-hour webinar where these questions and many others will be answered. Let's take a deep dive into covering the gap.

Webinar Series with ECYEH
PHEAA and Education for Children and Youth Experiencing Homelessness (ECYEH) will collaborate on a webinar series about PA students experiencing homelessness. Join PHEAA and ECYEH representatives as they unpack the meaning of “homelessness” and provide resources to help students navigate life beyond high school.
Obtaining a postsecondary education is crucial for breaking the cycle of poverty and homelessness, and it sets the stage for a healthy, meaningful, and successful life. However, young people experiencing homelessness and those in foster care encounter obstacles entering postsecondary education. This presentation provides attendees with valuable tips and resources to help ease the transition from high school to higher education. This event is hosted by Tiffanie DeVan from PHEAA and a representative from ECYEH.
TIME: 6:00-7:15 PM (ET)
