Summer Financial Aid

For most students, summer is considered the final semester of their academic award year; therefore, summer financial aid is very limited. A student’s eligibility for summer aid is generally the amount of annual eligibility remaining or not used during the fall and spring semesters. For that reason, students should secure/apply for summer aid (i.e. loans) as early as possible.

Your Cost of Attendance for the summer sessions must be calculated in order to determine your financial aid eligibility. Your summer budget will be determined by using the average cost of tuition and fees with the cost of all other budget components including room and board, books and supplies, transportation, and personal expenses.

Additional Loan Assistance

Private educational loans are available to students who are enrolled half-time or full-time. Some, but not all, private lenders will lend to students enrolled less than half time. Since these loans are credit-based and take several weeks to receive funds, you are encouraged to apply as early as possible to ensure your credit check is approved and you can secure payment for your courses.

The 2021 Summer Aid Application will not be available until the end of Spring 2021.
