The thought of Higher Education costs can be overwhelming, however planning and identifying what you can do to help lessen those costs is an important step. It’s never too early or too late to start understanding what those costs are and what is available to help maintain, plan and help you make affordable decisions. Join Dan Wray and Suzanne Sparrow of PHEAA’s PA Forward Program in a one hour webinar to begin that process and become prepared.

REGISTER:  https://pheaa.org/virtual

There are many ways to pay for education, and one important step is to search and apply for Scholarships. More free money equals less borrowing. This presentation will review the types of options available, along with tips on applying. It will also offer samples of fun scholarship options to get you started. We’ll then review what to do about the balances that might be left over in order to make affordable higher education decisions. Join Suzanne Sparrow and Daniel Wray from Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency (PHEAA ) for an hour of detailed information on this topic.

Deep Dive Into Covering the Gap

It’s crunch time. The semester bill received from the school has a tight deadline. The format of the bill looks different from the aid offer received a while back. Are there any costs I need to plan for that are not 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 and Dan Wray of the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency (PHEAA) for a one hour webinar where these questions and many others will be answered. Let’s take a deep dive into Covering the Gap.

Financial Aid Timeline – know what to do when

Follow Suzanne Sparrow and Dan Wray of Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency (PHEAA) as they guide you along the exciting (and sometimes bumpy) road to an affordable higher education. The journey will begin before high school and end in the land of education loan repayment – or maybe even education loan forgiveness.

This 1-hour presentation will provide the starting points and web resources- for effective research before, during and after your student makes postsecondary decisions. Know what to expect and to plan for it is the key. Failing to plan, is planning to fail!

Photos are being taken in the Staff Development Room (SDR) in the administration building. There will be signs directing you to that location. 

Note: If you had your photos taken on the first day of school, but would like your retake picture to be used in the yearbook, you must let Searfoss Photography know that at the time of your retake session.

If you have any questions about where the SDR room is located or about the retake process, please stop by the upper house office.

• How to maximize college visits  
• How to create a balanced college list that includes likely, target, and reach schools
