Do you have questions about applying for financial aid? If so, please join the Penn State New Kensington Financial Aid Office for FAFSA Line-by-Line. In this seminar, we will take an in-depth look at the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and explain the logic behind the questions and provide tips on how to complete the form successfully. By attending this workshop, you will have all of the information you need to complete the FAFSA from your own home.

Penn State recommends that students (and their parents) complete the FAFSA by February 15 of the year they intend to begin their education.
