Summer aid works differently than fall and spring. It is not automatic, and it runs on its own set of deadlines, so use this page to confirm your FAFSA is current, submit the Summer Aid Request Form on time, and follow up with the Financial Aid Office to check your eligibility.

How to Apply for Summer Financial Aid

File a FAFSA covering both the current and upcoming aid years at studentaid.gov. Aid cannot be reviewed or processed until every required document is complete.

Check your outstanding requirements under the "Financial Aid Requirements" icon on your student portal.

Submit the Summer Aid Request Form

Once you are registered for summer courses, complete the Summer Aid Request Form, available starting May 1 on the Forms page.

Check In With Financial Aid

Contact the Financial Aid Office before and during summer semester to confirm your aid status, and watch the "Pay My Bill" icon on your student portal for any outstanding balance.

Note: Submitting the Summer Aid Request Form does not guarantee summer aid. The Financial Aid Office uses the form to determine whether you have summer aid eligibility.
