A Financial Aid Night conducted by PA Higher Education Assistance Agency will be held today at 6 p.m. in the Tamaqua Area High School library.

The presentation will provide an early understanding of the financial aid process. Participants will gain an understanding of the types and sources of aid available to help cover the cost of attendance at postsecondary schools.

Participants will also learn how to apply for financial aid, including the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), which is required to determine eligibility for most student aid programs, such as the Pennsylvania State Grant, Federal Pell Grant, institutional awards, and federal student and parent loans.
