Harrisburg – Oct. 27, 2015 – State Sen.

“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.
