We offer four 30-minute sessions from 5:00–7:00 PM (ET). Please note: Registration is only required for one family member if they will be using the same device.

Resources to Help Students Navigate the Financial Aid Process
High school seniors are receiving their 2025-26 financial aid packages! Students can register for PHEAA’s free virtual webinars to help them navigate the aid process at pheaa.org/virtual. Additionally, some students may identify a financing gap when calculating their educational costs and comparing it to their available financial aid. PA Forward Student Loans can bridge tuition gaps by covering 100% of their remaining college costs. Learn more at pheaa.org/PAForward.
