Confused about PHEAA state grant

<p>Trying to get information about PHEAA state grant and cannot get it.</p>

<p>My son received an offer from PHEAA for his admission to Penn State. He was also sent a similar offer about a month after his initial FA offer for a PA private college that had rolling admissions. However, we have not heard back yet from PHEAA about a PA college that had an April 1 admission deadline. </p>

<p>We spoke with the college, and they told us they didn't know if PHEAA would offer us anything. We spoke with PHEAA and they told us they couldn't promise us anything. They also told us that the offers we were given before were estimates (which we already knew), since the definite amounts don't come out until May. But they could not tell us whether the private college would be getting the PHEAA grant or whether they had already included it in the grant they already offered us.</p>

<p>We are assuming that since the other PA private college got the info about a month after he was offered acceptance to the school, the April 1 deadline private college will also get the same info. But we don't have any certainty about it. And since FA is a determining factor in making the decision, we need to know.</p>

<p>Has anyone else gone through this in the past? Thanks.</p>
