Which of the following is NOT a role of the PAEA?

• A. Administers CASPA
• B. Provides Educational Curriculum Guidelines
• C. Hosts The Annual Education Forum
• D. Offers Student Loans To PA Students

Answer: (D)

PAEA focuses on supporting PA education and program development. It administers CASPA, the centralized application service used by applicants to PA programs. It also provides Educational Curriculum Guidelines to help programs design curricula that prepare students with the needed competencies, and it hosts the Annual Education Forum where educators and program leaders share research and best practices. Offering student loans isn’t a function of this organization; student financial aid comes from federal loan programs or private lenders, not from PAEA. So the option describing student loans doesn’t fit what PAEA does.
