Summer Session Financial Aid Information
Is Financial Aid available for Summer Sessions?
- Yes; however, undergraduate students who use aid in the summer must realize that their summer aid counts against their maximum annual award package.
- Taking out a Federal Direct Loan or a Pell Grant for summer school leaves less loan/Pell eligibility for the regular school year. This is because there are limits on the total amounts of Pell grant and Federal Direct Loans students have access to per year.
- For example, if a student has a maximum annual eligibility of $5,500 in Pell Grant and uses $1,500 in the summer, only $3,000 remains for the year.
What is the 2018 Summer Session Tuition?
