Ready to get started? You’ve come to the right place. Below, we’ll walk you through the applications to submit and the deadlines to keep in mind. At first glance, it might seem like a long checklist. But we are here to help you work through it.

Applications to Complete

The FAFSA is the initial application used by college students across the country for grants, educational loans, work-study, and other forms of aid.

Learn more about the FAFSA.

Are you a PA resident?

We encourage first-time FAFSA applicants to complete the PA State Grant Form and High School Form as soon as possible after submitting their FAFSA. However, for 2025-26 FAFSA applicants PHEAA has delayed the start of these next steps. When that process begins, PHEAA will email students and will update information on its site . 

Be aware of PHEAA's deadline for FAFSA submission.

Not a PA resident?

By completing just a single application , you’ll be considered for 300+ Penn College scholarships. But don’t stop there. Visit our External Scholarships page to start your search for private scholarships.

To receive any Federal Direct Student Loans, you must complete the Master Promissory Note and Entrance Counseling. Complete in May or June after you’ve committed to Penn College for fall entry, or October for spring.

The Federal Direct Parent PLUS Loan or a non-federal private alternative loan may be used for any remaining balance not covered by other aid. These loans require separate applications. Apply for these loans until after you have received your tuition bill and have confirmed the amount to borrow.
