Borrowing for education – which loan is right for me?

Thursday, Jan. 16 at 6:30 p.m. or Thursday, Jan. 30 at noon.

Description:

I have found the schools I would like to attend, filed the FAFSA and State Grant Form, searched for Scholarships, researched higher education costs, and calculated the funding gap. I see that education loans are a necessity, but where do I go from here?  What loan programs are available?  What are the advantages and disadvantage of the various types? 

Join Suzanne Sparrow, Daniel Wray, and William McGinley of the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency (PHEAA) for a 1-hour webinar to review the different borrowing options and examine the details associated with each option.  The PHEAA loan team will answer your questions as you sort out the information and make decisions that are right for you and your family.

Searching for Scholarships and Affording the Balance

 Tuesday, Jan. 28 at 6:30 p.m.

Description:

There are many ways to pay for education and one important step is to search and apply for Scholarships.  More free money equals less borrowing.  This presentation will review the types of options available, along with tips of applying.  It will also offer samples of fun scholarship options to get you started.  We will then review what to do about the balances that might be left over to make affordable higher education decisions. 

Join Suzanne Sparrow, Daniel Wray, and William McGinley from Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency (PHEAA) for an hour of detailed information on this topic.
