The Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency (PHEAA) is host of free webinars to assist college-bound students and their families in completing and submitting the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

Filing the 2026-27 FAFSA is the first step in determining qualification for a Federal Pell Grant, PA State Grant, scholarships, institutional awards and federal student loans.

Students and contributors, such as parents and spouses, must establish their StudentAid.gov Account (FSA ID) at: StudentAid.gov/fsa-id/create-account

This must be done prior to attending a FAFSA completion workshop.

Register for the following webinars at pheaa.org/virtual:

6 p.m. - 7 p.m. Jan. 14, March 11

PHEAA Access Partners will provide one-on-one support at the FAFSA Completion Workshop. Sessions are approximately 30 min. Registration is required as space is limited:

5 p.m. - 7 p.m. Jan. 22, April 21

PHEAA provides free FAFSA resources online and offers a free FAFSA toolkit to aid counselors and partners in assisting students and families with FAFSA completion.
