Budget stalemate complicates financial aid situation for some Penn State students - LORI FALCE, Centre Daily

Penn State students who live off campus might be finding some challenges as school starts that trace back to Harrisburg. The university is telling those on campus about some complications coming out of the capital. “Students who have been awarded a PA State Grant will not receive this funding until the state budget passes,” the Office of Student Aid’s website says. “Due to the budget impasse, state funding has not been released to the university. Students may notice PA State Grant funds appearing as a credit on the bill but not disbursing into the student bursar account. If you have been awarded a PA State Grant and are expecting a refund, you could be impacted by this funding delay.” http://www.centredaily.com/2015/08/28/4895480/budget-stalemate-complicates-financial.html
