As the school year winds down, colleges and universities are preparing to send out bills for the next academic year. With that in mind, the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency is lining up a series of free webinars - which launch tomorrow - aimed at helping students and families.

The program, in its ninth year, called 100 nights of Taps, is organized by Wendy Allen, a Gettysburg gallery owner known for her paintings of Abraham Lincoln who serves as president of the board of directors for the Lincoln Fellowship of Pennsylvania.
