Harrisburg – Oct. 27, 2015 – State Sen. Jim Brewster (D-Allegheny/Westmoreland), in concert with representatives of the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency (PHEAA) will host a financial aid seminar for prospective college students, parents and others who want to learn about financing a college education on Nov. 2 at 6:30 p.m. at Penn State New Kensington.
The seminar will be held at Penn State New Kensington Conference Center, 3550 Seventh Street Road, Route 780 in New Kensington.
“Students and their parents should have an opportunity to learn about financing college and be able to ask questions directly to those who are experts in managing the costs,” Brewster said. “The PHEAA financial aid seminar promises to be informative and worthwhile.
“The seminar will provide details about how students and parents can deal with paying for school.”
Brewster said that representatives from PHEAA will make a presentation at the seminar and then be available to answer questions.
The senator is also planning to hold two more PHEAA financial aid seminars next spring.
The first will be on March 5, 2016 at Penn State Greater Allegheny in the Ostermayer Room in the Student Community Center, McKeesport, at 10 a.m. then again on March 19, 2016 at 10 a.m. in the auditorium of the Community College of Allegheny County, Boyce Campus, Monroeville.
