Financial Aid/Scholarships
PHEAA Workshops
Minersville Area HS hosted a Financial Aid Night presentation with PA Higher Education Assistance Agency (PHEAA) in the Guidance Office on September 9, 2025 at 6:00 pm for MAHS students and parents.
This presentation provided an early understanding of the financial aid process. Participants gained an understanding of the types and sources of aid available to help cover the cost of attendance at post-secondary schools. Participants also learned 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.
Here is a copy of the presentation:
