Eligibility Requirements for Summer 2023 Financial Aid

- You must be fully admitted to a degree seeking program at ASUJ.
- You must be making Satisfactory Academic Progress.

- Receipt of additional financial assistance from any source could affect Federal Aid eligibility. Failure to report other sources of aid may result in required repayment of Federal Aid funds.
Pell
- Students may be eligible for Summer Pell Grant funds. If you were a Pell eligible student in Fall 2023 and Spring 2024, and enrolled in at least 6 credit hours for Summer 2024 you may qualify. For more information, contact the Financial Aid Office.
- Graduate students are not eligible to receive a Pell Grant.
Loans
- You must be enrolled in at least half-time (6 ASUJ hours for Undergraduate students / 3 ASUJ hours for Graduate Students) to be eligible for a student loan.
- The Financial Aid & Scholarships Office will evaluate eligibility for student loans.
- Loans received in previous semesters for the 2023-2024 academic year will affect Summer 2024 loan eligibility.

Summer Disbursement of Funds
- Pell Grants will be disbursed in the Summer Session where the student begins attendance. (i.e. If the student has 3 hours during the Summer 1 Session and 3 hours for the Summer 2 Session, the Pell Grant will be disbursed to the Student's account during the Summer 1 Session. NOTE: In this example, dropping the Summer 2 Session course before it begins would result in the student owing back Pell Grant money.)
