Apply

If you are applying for the PA-TIP, don't miss the deadline! And make sure to fill out the application correctly.

Returning students NEED NOT REAPPLY. All students who were awarded in the prior year with remaining terms of eligibility, who maintain their enrollment, will have their PA-TIP Application automatically renewed for the new program year. Students that are not renewed but are still attending may request a review of their renewal eligibility by emailing the PA-TIP program or may simply reapply.

NOTE: If you change institutions, a new application will be required. For more information about the student automatic renewal process, visit our FAQs.

How Do I Apply?

You must submit a FAFSA® (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) and a PA-TIP Student Application (PDF). The application deadline for the current award year is May 1.
