PA New Economy Technology Scholarship (NETS) Program Repayment
You must begin repayment of your scholarship funds after a 6-month grace period if you fail to meet any of the following NETS obligations:
- Maintain a cumulative 3.0 GPA (to be verified annually by your Financial Aid Office at the end of every spring term)
- Maintain consecutive enrollment
- Complete an internship (SciTech recipients only)
- Complete an approved NETS program of study
- Work full time in Pennsylvania in a NETS-related field for the required amount of time
PHEAA administers repayment through American Education Services (AES). Interest may be assessed daily at the annual fixed rate of 8% from the date you lost eligibility. We will contact you in writing to advise you of your repayment terms.
You can defer repayment while you are enrolled as a full-time student. Simply download and complete an AES In-School Deferment Request (PDF).
