FAFSA Line-by-Line seminar set for prospective students and parents

The challenge of filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) can become less daunting with Penn State New Kensington’s semi-annual financial aid seminar.

Geared to prospective students and parents, “FAFSA Line-by-Line” is set for 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 4, in the campus Conference Center. Seminar participants get an in-depth look at the FAFSA and receive an explanation of the logic behind the questions. Instructors will provide tips on how to complete the form from a home computer.

FAFSA is the first step in the financial aid process. Families need it to apply for federal student financial aid, such as the Pell Grant, student loans and college work-study. In addition, most states and schools use FAFSA information to award their financial aid. Penn State recommends that the FAFSA be completed by Feb. 15 for fall enrollment.

The event is sponsored by the offices of Admissions and Financial Aid at Penn State New Kensington. Light refreshments will be served.
