The Financial Aid Handbook is a great resource for everyone.
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 and loans.
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.
