PHEAA launches new student aid website

As thousands of Pennsylvania college students head to college, they and their parents will have access to a new and improved Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency  student aid and debt management website, YouCanDealWithIt.com.

http://www.youcandealwithit.com/

The free site offers students and parents practical and easy-to-understand advice and information on how to deal with common financial situations in today’s college and post college environment.

The site provides information and resources on ways to pay for school, including grants, scholarships and loans, student aid basics, including commonly used terminology, information on repaying student loan debt, options for borrowers having trouble making monthly payments, and money management, budgeting tips and the benefits and dangers of credit cards.

The site also offers the user easier navigation, new content including “Test Your Knowledge” quizzes and examples of different financial situations that borrowers commonly face and how to deal with them. This new web portal also allows users to put themselves in the shoes of the borrower and explore potential solutions, so they will be prepared if they ever face a similar situation in real-life. Users also have access to calculators and other resources to help estimate loan payments and create personal budgets.
