On July 17, 2024, Governor Josh Shapiro signed into law Act 69 of 2024, which requires Institutions of Higher Education (IHEs) to present financial information in greater detail to students. At Penn Highlands Community College, we understand that affordability is a major concern for our students. That’s why we are committed to providing accessible and affordable education for all. Here are links to all relevant information regarding Act 69 (Section 2005-H).
