The Financial Aid Office at Pennsylvania College of Technology will help current and future college students and their families complete the 2019-20 Free Application for Federal Student Aid.
The FAFSA online application is required by colleges and universities to determine student eligibility for federal and state grants, federal loans and some scholarships.
Penn College’s free FAFSA completion session is scheduled for Thursday, Jan. 24, from 4 to 6:30 p.m. The session will be in Room 1049 of the Student & Administrative Services Center on the college’s main campus. Students enrolled or planning to enroll at any college or university are invited. Students who are 23 or younger should be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
Most first-time students can complete the FAFSA within 45 minutes. Attendees planning to submit their FAFSA during the session should create a student and/or parent FSA ID at least three days prior. They should also bring copies of their 2017 financial documents, including federal tax returns, W-2 forms, untaxed income statements, record of child support paid or received, and amount of their current assets.
Financial Aid staff will also help student and parent taxpayers utilize the IRS Data Retrieval Tool, which allows FAFSA filers to electronically transfer federal tax return information into the FAFSA.
“Applying for financial aid can seem like a daunting process, but there’s no need to navigate it on your own,” said Ashley R. Murphy, associate dean for admissions and financial aid. “Don’t give up or assume you won’t qualify. Our staff is here to help you make sure you’re doing what you need to do to maximize your financial aid resources.”
Admissions staff and student ambassadors will be available at the sessions to answer questions about Penn College and to offer campus tours.
Registration is preferred. For more information and to register, visit the Financial Aid Office, call 570-327-4766 or email.
