Financial Aid Workshops for Educators

Due to recent legislation, the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) Simplification is a significant overhaul of the processes and systems that award student aid. Please plan to join PHEAA’s Higher Education Access Partners to learn more about these recent changes, know how to navigate the application process and help us increase access to financial aid in Pennsylvania.

PHEAA's Higher Education Access Partners will provide you with up-to-date information on financial aid for postsecondary education. The workshops give a general understanding of the process and examine the available programs that make higher education more affordable for families.

Join us for a free workshop, virtually or in person throughout the Commonwealth, to learn more about:

  • The upcoming 2024-25 FAFSA
  • Federal financial aid programs
  • Financial literacy resources

Please register at least one week before the workshop date you wish to attend. You will receive an email confirmation upon registration with the workshop’s location, directions, and parking information.

You will receive a link to a quiz that is required to be taken within 10 days of the workshop for you to receive Act 48 credits. If you complete the quiz and meet the workshop attendance requirements, we will submit your hours to the PA Department of Education.

Recordings are available if you cannot attend a workshop or if you wish to revisit the content from a session. Please get in touch with your Higher Education Access Partner for a link to view the event recordings.

We invite you to check out the webinar training calendar for other PHEAA online events or contact us to discuss your organization’s needs.
