Summer Financial Aid

Summer financial aid is unique in awarding from Fall and Spring semesters. Pell Grants, other grants, and loan programs may be available on a very limited basis. Students must submit a FAFSA, to be considered for Summer federal financial aid.

  • Pell Grant awards will be made to eligible students who either have remaining eligibility from the award year, or who meet the requirements for “year-round Pell”. In order to qualify for “year-round Pell”, the student must meet all Pell grant eligibility requirements for Summer and must be enrolled at least half-time. In certain situations, an eligible student can receive up to 150 percent of his or her scheduled Pell Grant award for an award year.
  • Loans are limited to a student's remaining eligibility from the academic year. If a student used their full annual eligibility for student loans in Fall and Spring, then the student will not have any remaining eligibility for Summer.
  • The Work-Study program is not available during Summer session.
