This one-hour presentation will provide the starting points and web resources for effective research before, during and after your student makes post-secondary decisions. The journey will begin before high school and end in the land of understanding choices. One thing is for certain – it is never too early to start planning for a successful higher education experience. Join PHEAA’s PA Forward and Keystone Loan team as they guide you along the exciting, and sometimes bumpy, road to planning for an affordable education. Knowing what to expect and to plan for it is the key, as failing to plan, is planning to fail!
