HARRISBURG PA – A virtual event planned for early December intends to provide an overview of the new and revised process of apply for college financial aid. 24th District state Sen. Tracy Pennycuick and the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency are co-hosting the session.
Anyone interested in pursuing higher education, regardless of grade or age, can participate. The event is set for Dec. 10 (2024; Tuesday) from 6:30-7:30 p.m. online. Advance registration is necessary; complete it online.
The agency was created by Pennsylvania lawmakers in 1963 to provide affordable access to higher education for the state’s students and families.
Since then, the agency says it has evolved into a leading provider of student financial aid services. They include the Commonwealth’s first state-based student loan program, and loan guaranty, loan servicing (operating nationally as nationally as American Education Services), financial aid processing, and related programs.
A Step Toward Educational Goals
Pennycuick says she is “excited to partner” with the agency in efforts “to help students and their families navigate the college application process.” The virtual event expects to provide essential information about financial aid and college planning,” she explains.
“Don’t miss this opportunity to learn more and take the next step toward your educational goals,” the senator adds. For more information or answers to questions about the event, call Pennycuick’s office at 215-541-2388. Her district covers portions of Montgomery and Berks counties.
Michael Burke is one of the agency’s higher education access partners. During the presentation he will offer in-depth information on college planning, available programs, and steps to apply for aid.
The agency welcomes “every opportunity to provide guidance to those who dream of pursuing higher education,” says state Sen. Wayne Fontana of the Pittsburgh area. He also chairs the agency Board of Directors. Its financial aid experts will share “their knowledge and experience to help students and parents navigate the college planning and financial aid process,” Fontana notes.
