Financial Information for Summer
The Financial 411 for Summer Courses
Financial aid in the form of grants and loans is available for students taking summer classes and is based on summer term enrollment. A summer-specific application is NOT required but students must have a completed financial aid file for the academic year and must also have registered for summer courses in order to receive a summer financial aid award notification. Summer is considered a trailing semester, meaning it is at the end of the financial aid year.
