Institutional aid is not available for the summer sessions. However, you can apply for federal aid by completing the following steps. Please note that any federal aid awarded for the summer may impact eligibility for spring 2013 aid.
- Complete the 2012-2013 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
- Complete the AU Summer Aid Application.
- Complete any additional documents listed on the portal under the "Financial Aid: My Documents" Web page.
- Enroll in at least 6 credits (half-time status) to be eligible for federal student loans.
- If needed, you may submit either a Parent PLUS (undergraduates) or Graduate PLUS (graduates) application online for additional federal loan funds to help you meet your educational expenses.
- If needed, submit an alternative loan application to the lender of your choice. Once your application is complete, the lender will forward a certification request on to our office to verify your enrollment and eligibility.
You will be notified of your summer awards in early May via the student portal. Please contact our office should you have any questions.
To be eligible for summer financial aid, you must be meeting Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP). Once spring semester grades are available at the end of May, your SAP status will be reviewed. If you are failing SAP at that time, your aid for the summer will be canceled.
