Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency (NMLS # 1619466)

The Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency (PHEAA) was created by the Pennsylvania General Assembly in 1963 to provide affordable access to higher education for PA students and families. Through the years, PHEAA has evolved into one of the nation’s leading providers of student financial aid services, including the Commonwealth’s first state-based student loan program – PA Forward. PHEAA also serves millions of students through guaranty, servicing, financial aid processing, and other programs. PHEAA conducts student loan servicing operations nationally as American Education Services (AES). Social Media House Rules:
