Presented by PHEAA:  Covering the Gap: Pieces of the Puzzle to Help Pay Your Education Bill
Since this is the season when families focus on how they will cover education costs, they may be looking for additional information.  PHEAA, represented by Linda Pacewicz and Daniel Wray of PA Forward, is offering a series of one-hour webinars on the topic of Covering the Gap.  These webinars emphasize best practices (such as seeking grants and scholarships first), reminds families about additional resources (such as payment plans), and touch on private/alternative loans as a last resort.  The discussion will also include the basics of credit:  what is a credit score, what factors impact a credit score, how can a credit score be improved, etc.  Please register below for one or more of these informative presentations and have your questions answered.

Juniors and Seniors:
Please read the email below from Attollo and feel free to join them for the virtual tours.

Attollo (a college access and leadership program based in Lancaster, PA) has been facilitating virtual college tours. During the last two weeks, they have provided 107 attendees the opportunity to visit 21 colleges and universities and hear from 23 different college representatives.

Through this process, they have rediscovered the importance of college exposure, especially during this time. As a result, they have decided to visit 60 colleges and universities this summer. They have received overwhelmingly positive feedback from the attendees and are extending the invitation to all rising juniors and seniors at Penn Manor. Below, you will see an image of the 36 remaining colleges and universities you are encouraged to join!

Logistics:

Attollo is excited to embark on virtual college tours with you this summer. The tours will be taking place late July to mid-August Mondays-Thursdays. Each session will consist of 3 tours and will start at 10:00 AM and will end between 11:00 AM and 11:30 AM. We encourage you to sign up for at least five sessions to see a healthy range of schools.

During the tours, you may have the opportunity to hear from college admissions officers, college students, and local professionals. Thursday’s will be our interest-specific tours, which will consist of additional networking opportunities. You will receive the zoom link via email the day before your scheduled sessions. Below you can find a sample itinerary of what each session will entail.
