Understanding the Offer Letter and Balances

The offer letter or financing plan you receive outlines the estimated costs of attending postsecondary education, but these documents can be confusing since each school presents the information differently. In this 1-hour webinar, PHEAA representatives Suzanne Sparrow, William McGinley, and Daniel Wray of PA Forward and Keystone Student Loans will guide you through understanding and navigating the types of aid listed, what you are being offered, how to identify remaining balances, and the next steps you should take to make informed and affordable decisions. Q&A interaction is encouraged.
