As we officially move into summer, we want to make sure our graduates and their families don’t miss one of the most important steps in securing financial support for college.

Starting Wednesday, June 4, the PHEAA (Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency) has begun reaching out to students, including our McCaskey High School graduates, who are eligible to complete the PA State Grant Form (SGF), a critical part of the financial aid process for anyone attending college in Pennsylvania.

Whether you’re part of the McCaskey Class of 2025, a returning college student, or a recent FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) applicant, here’s what you need to know to avoid missing out on up to $5,000 in state grant funding, aid that does not need to be repaid!

If you’re planning to attend a Pennsylvania college or university for the 2025–26 school year, completing the SGF could put thousands of dollars in your hands money that many students depend on to stay in school.

Heads up for returning students: Even if you filled out the SGF last year for the 2024–25 academic year, you may be required to complete it again. This is a change from previous years, so be sure to log in and check.

We know this process can feel overwhelming but you’re not in it alone. SDoL`s Future Ready Team is available this summer to assist students and families with all things financial aid, including the SGF.
