Sen. Brewster Offers Free Student Aid Seminars

McKeesport, February 13, 2012 – State Sen. Jim Brewster today said there are still available slots for his remaining two student aid seminars for local students and their parents.

“In this difficult economy, students and parents should explore every possible grant and loan opportunity,” Brewster said. “These free seminars are aimed at helping families understand what’s out there, what they may qualify for and how to apply.”

Brewster said refreshments will be available at the seminars, which focus on financial aid and the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) application process. They will be held:

· Saturday February 25 from 10 a.m. to noon in the auditorium at Penn State New Kensington; and

· Saturday March 3 from 10 a.m. to noon in the Ostermeyer Room of the Student Community Center at Penn State Greater Allegheny.
