SUMMER FINANCIAL AID
The types of financial assistance available for the summer term are limited compared to the fall and spring terms. Additionally, amounts for some types of assistance available for the summer will depend upon your annual and aggregate levels. Please keep in mind that in many cases the ONLY funding available for the summer term may be LOANS.
Eligibility for 2013 Summer Financial Aid is based upon remaining eligibility for the 2012-2013 academic year, Satisfactory Academic Progress, indebtedness to the college, attendance, and receipt of Federal student aid funds at another institution during the 2012-2013 academic year.
To determine your eligibility for summer financial aid, complete the 2013 Summer Financial Aid Request form and submit it to the Financial Aid Office no later than April 1, 2013. Request forms are also available in the Financial Aid Office.

Mail-in applications are available for download at the Federal Student Aid Gateway or by contacting the Central Processing System at 1-800-433-3243.

You must reapply for financial aid each year. If you provided the Department of Education with an e-mail address, a reminder will be sent to you. As with your initial application, any renewals should be submitted as soon after January 1 of each year as possible.
