Summer Financial Aid

Financial assistance may be available for students who are attending classes during the summer semester; however, it differs from fall and spring aid due to its condensed timeframe and unique eligibility criteria. It also requires separate applications and processing. 

  • 2024 Summer Aid Applications have closed as the summer semester has ended. However, if you still need information about covering past-due summer charges, contact the Office of Financial Aid for more information.
  • 2025 Summer Aid Applications are expected to become available in March 2025.
