With back-to-school time quickly approaching, many college students and their families are still looking for ways to cover the full cost of what can be one of the most expensive — and consequential — investments of their lives: higher education.PHEAA administers several gift aid programs for the commonwealth, including the need-based PA State Grant Program, that offer grant funds to help students afford their education without incurring loan debt.
