Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency (PHEAA)

Highest Pennsylvania State Grant possible for your school costs, with Student Aid Index and Pell award disregarded

When you apply for the Pennsylvania State Grant as a veteran, PHEAA disregards your Student Aid Index and any Pell award you may be eligible for, so you receive the highest Pennsylvania State Grant possible for the allowable college costs at your school.
