èßäÊÓƵapp èßäÊÓƵapp who already receive need- or merit-based financial aid through èßäÊÓƵapp can use our  to determine how much pro-rated aid may be applied toward Intersessions tuition.  Use of èßäÊÓƵapp financial aid during Intersessions does not decrease the amount you are eligible for in future semesters. 

Financial aid is automatically applied in Jan Term & May Term.  Due to more complex Financial Aid rules for Summer, all students taking Summer courses must enroll and then request their financial aid be applied.
