Can I use a PHEAA grant to pay for tuition at an out-of-state college?

No, PHEAA grants cannot be used to pay for tuition at out-of-state colleges. PHEAA grants are specifically designated for Pennsylvania residents attending eligible postsecondary institutions within the state. These grants, such as the Pennsylvania State Grant and the Ready to Succeed Scholarship, are funded by state appropriations and are intended to support Pennsylvania students in their pursuit of higher education within the state. However, there are various federal and private financial aid options available to students seeking funding for out-of-state colleges, including federal grants, scholarships, and student loans. It is recommended for students to explore these alternatives to cover tuition expenses at out-of-state institutions if they do not qualify for PHEAA grants.
