PHEAA and PA Forward Student Loan Program Webinar Events
I have done everything right so far: Found the perfect school, made it through the admission process, filed my FAFSA, filed my PA State Grant form, applied for scholarships, researched higher education costs, and calculated my funding gap. Now that I can see an education loan is necessary, 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 Suzanne Sparrow and Dan Wray of PHEAA for a 1-hour webinar to review the different borrowing options and examine the details associated with each option. Suzanne and Dan will answer your questions as you sort out the information and make decisions that are right for you and your family.
TIME: 6:30-7:30 PM (ET)
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.

Join Suzanne Sparrow 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.
