èßäÊÓƵapp Financial Aid

èßäÊÓƵapp receiving èßäÊÓƵapp Merit Scholarships or need-based financial aid may receive these awards on a pro-rated basis for Intersessions.

To estimate the dollar amount of awards that may be applied toward your account, use our Tuition and Financial Aid Calculator or contact your Financial Aid Advisor. 

èßäÊÓƵapp receiving èßäÊÓƵapp Tuition Benefits may be able to receive benefits for Intersessions, but are not eligible for additional scholarship funding. Please contact èßäÊÓƵapp Human Resources regarding your Intersessions tuition benefits.

A limited number of Intersessions scholarships are awarded by application to undergraduate students enrolled in at least 3 credit hours.

Due to higher volume and more complex financial aid rules for June-July, students MUST request èßäÊÓƵapp financial aid by completing a Financial Aid Request Form.  This form is generally available to students from early April to early July.

Federal and State Funds

Federal and State funds typically are not available for Jan Term or May Term. To receive Federal and State financial aid, a student must be enrolled at èßäÊÓƵapp for at least 6 hours over the course of the summer (May – August on the Dallas èßäÊÓƵapp, èßäÊÓƵapp-in-Taos, and èßäÊÓƵapp Abroad all count toward these hours). èßäÊÓƵapp eligible for the Pell Grant may be able to receive this in Summer. Contact your Financial Aid Advisor for more information.

Summer Studies Loan

Undergraduates enrolled at half-time or greater status may be eligible for a Summer Studies Loan with 0% interest loan of up to $5000. Contact your Financial Aid Advisor for more information.
