College Financial Aid State Grant Deadline

Life Transforming Ministries is recruiting students for the September 2009 and January 2010 College in Coatesville Associate's degree program with Harcum College, held at the Open Arms Transformation Center in Coatesville. All prospective students who would like to attend college in 2009 and 2010, and who would like to receive the maximum financial aid, should complete their FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) by April 30, 2009. The school code is 003272. DCD_logo.jpeg.jpg

Completing a FAFSA application does not obligate a student to attend college and can be completed online in 30 minutes or less. FAFSA applications submitted by April 30, 2009 will ensure that prospective students are considered for the PA Higher Education Assistance Agency (PHEAA) State Grant financial aid.

Coatesville staff will be available to guide students through the process of the College Application, the FAFSA, plus scholarship and other financial aid opportunities.

Anyone interested in finding out more about the courses, degree options and financial aid should call the Life Transforming Ministries office at (610) 384.5393 or email Inbox@QuietRevolution.org.
