Financial Aid and Scholarships

Summer financial aid availability is based on your remaining annual eligibility from the 2011 - 2012 school year. This is limited to loan funding only for most students.  However, if you are eligible for Pell Grant and did not use your full nine month allotment during the immediately prior academic year, you may use your remaining Pell Grant for the summer quarter.  Information on other aid sources is available within the Summer Financial Aid Policies document.

Application Deadline and Forms

You must have a complete 2011-2012 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) on file before June 30, 2012 and submit a "Request for Summer 2012 Financial Aid" form to our office by July 6, 2012 to be considered for summer financial aid funding.  The "Request for Summer 2012 Financial Aid" form will be available from our office beginning April 23, 2012 (first day of summer pre-registration), and requires consultation with a financial aid advisor prior to submittal.  Other summer forms and policies are available at the bottom of this page.

Application Requirements

You must be registered for summer courses and consult with our office prior to requesting summer aid. Your summer award will not be adjusted for courses added at a later date.

Award Notification

You will be notified in May and June regarding your summer award.

Enrollment Requirements

You must be enrolled at least half-time (5 credits graduate or 6 credits for all others) to receive summer aid. 

Online Courses

If you receive summer aid for self-paced online courses, they must be completed two weeks prior to the end of the term in which you received aid for them. This requirement overrides the 12 month completion rule for those courses.

Aid Disbursement

Summer aid will disburse beginning June 25, 2012 or July 23, 2012. For aid to disburse on June 25, you must be registered in at least six credits as an undergraduate or five credits as a graduate/doctoral which start on June 25. Aid is first applied to your university charges. Remaining funds are deposited to your bank account or sent to your mailing address.

Summer Withdrawal

If you withdraw from all courses prior to the start dates of those courses, you must return all financial aid funds to EWU. If you withdraw after the start of summer quarter, you may be required to repay all or a portion of any funds received and future financial aid will be suspended.

Summer Intersession Courses

Please consult with our office if you will be taking courses that begin prior to the start of the summer session or after the end of summer session. We may or may not be able to fund those courses.
