Financial Aid

Financial Aid is available for summer semester for regularly admitted, eligible students. In order to determine financial aid eligibility, each student must complete the 2016-2017 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), available at www.fafsa.gov. For maximum consideration, the Office of Financial Aid should receive your FAFSA by March 1. Many summer students rely on federal student loans to fund their summer studies. In order to receive federal loans, students must be enrolled 1/2 time (6 credits for undergraduate students or 5 credits for graduate students).

Enrollment level is determined by combining credits from all summer sessions at the end of the 4th day of the first six-week session for undergraduate students, May 19, 2016, or the 4th day of the second six-week session for graduate students, June 30, 2016. All students are expected to complete the enrollment level for which their financial aid is disbursed.

Student employment is available during the summer semester. The Office of Financial Aid will post open positions on the student job board at www.up.edu/finaid/studentjobs. Students can work on campus during the summer if they are enrolled in summer courses or pre-enrolled for fall courses.

Students planning to use Veteran’s tuition benefits for summer semester should contact the Veteran’s Certifying Official by email at veterans@up.edu.
