<p>Here’s another boost for private colleges/universities in Pennsylvanina down the road, “the Pennsylvania State Grant Program: Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Authority (PHEAA) sponsors a need-based state grant program for undergraduate Pennsylvania residents who will be enrolled at least half-time (6 or more credit hours per semester) during the current academic year. Currently Pennsylvania State Grants range from $100 to $3,300 per academic year.” </p>
<p>There are so many very good to excellent private colleges and universities in Pennsylvania (along with an extensive public college/university system). It’s early yet but ericatbucknell’s positive remarks about Juniata College (post #33) are right on the money. I have a niece who is a student at Juniata who (1) really enjoys it and (2) received substantial need based aid.</p>
