Paying for College is easier with financial aid.
Attention Students and Parents
The Financial Aid Office is working diligently to process loans, grants, and Federal Verification information in the order that information is received. We thank students and parents for their understanding and patience during this very busy time. Students can view their financial aid under the Financial Information section of SIS.
Please Note: There are three steps to the Federal Direct Parent PLUS Loan application process. If a PLUS Loan is not credited to your eBill, ensure that all three of the (numbered) steps outlined here have been completed.
Revised PHEAA Grant Awards for the 2010-11 Academic Year
Because of a reduction in funding from the recently passed Commonwealth of Pennsylvania budget, the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency (PHEAA) reduced the 2010-11 PHEAA Grant Awards for all eligible students. In mid-July, PHEAA notified students via e-mail (or by letter if no valid e-mail is on file) of the reduction and referred students to PHEAA’s Account Access. PHEAA also notified Penn College of the revised awards, and we have revised our records of PHEAA Grant amounts for both Fall and Spring Semesters. Summer 2010 Semester PHEAA Grants were not reduced.
Four out of five Pennsylvania College of Technology students receive some form of financial aid – worth millions of dollars – every year.
There is money available to help most students meet the cost of college. Find out if you are eligible by starting the process now!
To be considered, you must complete the “FAFSA” – Free Application for Federal Student Aid – each year that you are enrolled as a student. The information you provide on the FAFSA will determine how much you are eligible to receive in grants, work-study, and loans. Begin the FAFSA process.
Please note the FAFSA and other aid applications are FREE. Penn College strongly recommends against using any service that charges a fee to complete the FAFSA or a scholarship application. If you need any assistance, contact the Penn College Financial Aid Office.
