Deep Dive Into Covering the Gap   June 30^th Noon,  July 12^th Noon,  July 26^th 6:30pm

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 financial aid experts Linda Pacewicz and Dan Wray of the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency (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.

 

Borrowing for Education – which loan is right for me?   June 7^th Noon,  June 28^th 6:30pm,  July 14^th 6:30pm,  July 21^st Noon,  July 28^th Noon

I’ve done everything right so far: found the perfect school, made it through the admissions process, filed m FAFSA, filed my State Grant Form, applied for scholarships, researched higher education costs and calculated my funding gap.  Now that I can see an education loan is a necessity, where do I go from here?  What loan programs are available? What are the advantages and disadvantages of the various types?  Join financial aid experts Linda Pacewicz and Dan Wray of the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency (PHEAA) for a 1 hour webinar to review the different borrowing options and examine the details associated with each option.  Linda and Dan will answer your questions as you sort out the information and make decisions that are right for you and your family
