General Summer Financial Information

1. What do I need to do to receive financial aid in the summer?
For your first summer, you will need to file the CSS Profile to determine your need-based aid from the University. If you have filed the 2020-2021 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and are registered at least half time (6 hours for undergraduates) we will automatically award you summer financial aid. If you have used your Federal Direct Loan eligibility during the 2020-2021 academic year, your only aid option may be an alternative loan. More information regarding alternative loans is available here.

2. When will my summer aid be awarded?
Shortly after you are registered in at least half time (6 hours for undergraduates), our office will send you an award notification detailing any summer aid eligibility.

3. Can I use my academic scholarship during the summer?
Students who are graduating in 7 or fewer undergraduate semesters may be eligible to request one semester of their academic scholarship for the 2021 summer term. More information is available here.

4. Can I use my need-based scholarship in the summer?
Need-based scholarships are not available for the summer term.
