Harrisburg, January 25, 2011 – State Sen. Jim Brewster today announced that he will host three student aid seminars in February for local students and their parents.

“In these difficult economic times, it is imperative that college students explore eligibility for every college grant or loan prospect,” Brewster said. “These seminars are aimed at helping families understand what’s out there, what they may qualify for and how they can apply.”

The seminars will be held:

  • Saturday February 12 in the auditorium of the Community College of Allegheny College Boyce Campus, Monroeville (RSVP by February 7);
  • Saturday February 19 in the Ostermeyer Room of the Student Community Center at Penn State Greater Allegheny (RSVP by February 11); and
  • Saturday February 26 in the auditorium at Penn State New Kensington (RSVP by February 18).
    The seminars will include a 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. financial aid seminar, lunch and a 12:15 p.m. to 1:45 p.m. session on completing the FAFSA application.
