Is there financial aid available during the summer session?
Yes, students are eligible to receive federal financial aid for summer course work if they meet the financial aid requirements above which include being enrolled on at least a half-time basis. The Office of Financial Aid combines the credit hours earned in Summer I and Summer II to determine eligibility for federal loans. The Office of Financial Aid may award any remaining Federal Stafford eligibility to be used for summer enrollment periods. If the student is otherwise eligible for financial aid but has no remaining Federal Stafford Loan eligibility, Federal Graduate PLUS loans may be awarded. As a last resource for students who may not be eligible for federal aid based on enrollment plans, the Office of Financial Aid may recommend a private alternative loan. The Office of Financial Aid recommends that students discuss available options if they are considering summer enrollment.
