Summer Aid

Eligibility is determined by:

• having a 2024-25 FAFSA
• being enrolled in a minimum of six credit hours
• meeting the conditions of the Satisfactory Academic Progress policy
• being grant eligible with maximum eligibility not yet reached for the school year.

Pell Grant eligible students can receive up to 150% of their scheduled Pell award each year. If you were a Pell eligible student in fall 2024 and/or spring 2025, you may qualify for a Pell Grant for summer 2025!

Students wishing to receive funds for summer school should enroll as early as possible.  Most grant program funding for summer is limited.

Eligibility for summer financial aid requires you are:

• enrolled in at least six (6) credit hours (both undergraduates and graduates)
  • full-time enrollment for summer is 12 hours for undergraduate students and nine hours for graduate students.
• degree-seeking and enrolled in classes that count toward your degree plan
• and meeting the conditions of the Satisfactory Academic Progress policy determined after spring 2025 grades are posted May 13.

Courses not on your degree plan

Example One:

You are a music major and want to take mythology. If mythology is not listed on your degree plan as a course requirement or elective that will apply towards graduation, then financial aid cannot pay for that class.

Example Two:

You are enrolled in 12 hours for the summer. However, six of those hours are for classes that are not on your degree plan. Financial aid will adjust and only pay for the six hours that are on your degree plan. You will then receive a half-time budget, not a full-time budget.

Satisfactory Academic Progress policy

Any student not meeting the SAP policy who has received summer aid will have their financial aid canceled immediately and therefore may owe a bill for summer.

Detailed information on SAP can be found at Satisfactory Academic Progress policy page.

Eligibility is determined by:

• having a 2024-2025 FAFSA
• and meeting the conditions of the Satisfactory Academic Progress policy.

If you withdraw from any summer class, it will impact your eligibility for financial aid. The level of financial assistance will change if it was offered prior to the time of the drop.

It is your responsibility to contact our office to discuss any changes in summer enrollment. We encourage you to contact your financial aid counselor before dropping any classes. Email us at finaid@sfasu.edu with your student information and any questions.

Enrollment will be checked for all students enrolled in any summer parts of term. If you do not complete at least six hours for the entire summer term, all summer financial aid may be canceled. Your aid will be canceled even if you have received a refund. Full-time enrollment for summer is 12 hours for an undergraduate student and nine hours for a graduate student.
