Financial Aid for Summer 2008
If you meet the eligibility criteria listed below, you may be able to receive financial aid for summer session.
- If you were a financial aid recipient during the 2007-2008 year and have remaining eligibility for Pell Grant or Stafford Loans, your summer award will be determined using that remaining eligibility.
- Summer is the last award period in the academic year. For example, Summer 2008 would require a 2007-2008 FAFSA.
- Students who applied and enrolled for Fall/Term 1 2007 were awarded maximum eligibility at that time for either 2 Semesters or 4 Terms. Students awarded for Fall/Terms 1-2 through Spring/Terms 3-4 are expected to budget funds from their maximum award if they plan to attend Summer/Term 5.
- Students who enrolled after Fall/Term 1 2007 may have additional eligibility and should complete this request when it is available.
- If you have exhausted your 2007-2008 eligibility, you will likely not receive financial aid for summer.
