Federal Pell Grant
Summer Federal Pell Grant is automatically awarded to undergraduate students seeking a Bachelor's degree or officially admitted into a post-baccalaureate teaching credential program who have at least one full term of remaining Pell Grant eligibility. Awards will be prorated for students enrolled less than full-time.
Students who utilized their entire annual Pell Grant award during the academic year (Fall and Spring semesters) may be eligible to receive up to a full term of Summer Pell Grant. Additional Summer Pell Grant information is available on the Summer Pell Grant FAQ section of the website.
State University Grant
The State University Grant (SUG) is designated to cover the State University Fee (SUF). Students must be enrolled in at least 6 units in state-supported summer classes to qualify for SUG. The SUG program is available to California residents and students with an AB540 status who are pursuing their first undergraduate, credential, graduate and post-baccalaureate degrees. State University Grants will be awarded based on the availability of funds and student eligibility.
Federal Direct Loans
Summer loans may be available to students who have remaining annual loan eligibility and are enrolled at least half time. Students interested in borrowing Federal Student Loans for Summer must submit a Financial Aid Advising Request form no later than the deadline published. Advising Request forms submitted past the deadline will be reviewed on a case by case basis.
IMPORTANT: Financial Aid is limited to the annual limit of their financial aid award. This means that the student may not receive a financial aid award that exceeds the maximum amount allotted for one academic year. For more information on remaining financial aid eligibility, please inquire with Financial Aid and Scholarships.
