Summer Aid

Summer Aid Calculator

To apply for Financial Aid for the 2012 Summer Session, you must:

  • Complete all Financial Aid requirements for the 2011-2012 academic year, including submitting a FAFSA and providing any required additional documents. For more information, visit Applying.
  • Submit a Summer Financial Aid Application

Note: Summer Financial Aid awards are based on the session(s) and total number of units a student indicates on the Summer Financial Aid Application. Students who enroll in and pay for fewer units or attend fewer weeks than originally indicated on their Summer Financial Aid Application will be billed back for Financial Aid already received. Be sure to revise your application if your summer enrollment plans change.
