Harrisburg – Oct. 17, 2014 – State Sen. Jim Brewster today reminded all area students and parents of the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency (PHEAA) Financial Aid Seminar that is scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 25, from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

“I encourage all students who are thinking about going to college to consider attending the financial aid seminar,” Brewster said.  “Learning how to manage college costs, finding out about financial assistance and understanding the time deadlines is very important.”

The PHEAA Financial Aid Seminar will be held at Penn State Greater Allegheny’s Ostermayer Room, Student Community Center, 4050 University Drive in McKeesport.

Representatives from PHEAA will be on hand to detail the financial aid application process and what financial aid may be available to students and their parents.
