Spring/Summer Aid
Spring and Summer terms are considered the end of the academic year. Therefore the amount of aid that is available for distribution to students during this time depends on how much was distributed during the fall and winter semesters. The amount of grants, loans, and work study available in spring or summer can be considerably less than what is typically available during the rest of the academic year.
In order to inform the Office of Financial Aid of your intent to take classes during the spring or summer terms please submit a spring/summer aid application.
