Guide to Student Aid Now Available Online

Families can access information on preparing for college

Students and families can now access Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency (PHEAA)'s annual Guide to Student Aid on line, according to state Senator Pat Browne (R-16).

The Guide provides extensive information on all student aid programs (grants, scholarships, loans and work-study) available to Pennsylvania students, including the need-based State Grant.  It can be accessed at www.PHEAA.org/sag

"There are several federal and state grant and loan programs available for students and the Guide to Student Aid provides the information that will help families secure that money," Senator Browne said. "This financial assistance can provide real relief for families as they work to put together the money to cover the ever increasing costs of higher education."

The Guide provides:

• Timelines for getting ready for college
• Eligibility information, application procedures and deadlines
• Helpful resources and contact information
• Tools to create a student budget to estimate expenses
• Ways to indentify financial need
• Online resources for forms, research, calculators and more
