First, read the Summer 2011 Financial Aid Application Policy Then, complete and submit the attached Summer Interest Form to our office.

Summer Registration and Financial Aid Eligibility

You must complete your Summer registration (both 1st and 2nd sessions) by June 24, 2011 to receive financial aid funding during the Summer Quarter. You will be allowed one change to registration. Exceptions will be considered if classes are cancelled.

Complete and return the Summer Interest Form by May 06, 2011.
If your interest form is late, be prepared to pay tuition with personal funds. Your budget and offers will be based on the number of credits you have indicated that you intend to enroll in and whether they are at the graduate and/or undergraduate level.

How is my eligibility for Summer Quarter Financial Aid determined?

Summer Financial Aid is tailored to the individual student and your eligibility will depend on your courseload, the span of time you will attend, your grade level, and the funds you have already received during the year.

Budgets are determined by the time-span you will be attending, because we take living expenses into account. The living expenses required for a five week enrollment are about half the allowance for ten weeks. To make your personal budget, we add the living costs below to your Summer tuition and fees and your book allowance, depending on the number of enrolled credits indicated on your Summer Interest Form.

To determine your budget, add your tuition costs, living expenses and and book allowance.

Summer 2011 per-credit tuition charges and fees are different than in the regular academic year and can be seen on the Evergreen Summer pages.

If you accept a Direct Loan for Summer, and it is yoour first Federal Direct Loan,you must complete a new Direct Loan Master Promissory Note (MPN) and Direct Loan Entrance Counseling. When we receive your Summer Interest Form, we will determine whether you have remaining Direct Subsidized and/or Unsubsidized Loan eligibility. Direct Parent PLUS Loans and Direct Graduate PLUS Loans will also be offered to cover Summer costs. The Summer Financial Aid Application must also be received before the deadline for us to certify private or Alternative Loans.

Information about Direct Loans

Since Summer Quarter is part of the 2010-11 Academic Year, only unused 2010-11 eligibility for Direct Subsidized or Unsubsidized Loans can be awarded. Your eligibility for loans also depends on your grade level (because maximum annual eligibility varies with grade level).

Freshman/up to 44 credits
Sophomore/45-89 credits
Junior/90-135 credits
Senior/135+ credits

If you change grade levels before Summer Quarter, submit credit verification for the credits that promote you. Students who will change grade levels will have budgets based on the new level, but must submit credit verification before Summer Quarter Direct Loans will be certified.

The last day to accept Summer Loans for the first session is July 22, and for full or second session the last day to accept loans is August 28. Accept your loans as soon as you can after receiving a Summer Financial Aid offer. Your loans can be accepted on my.evergreen.

Timing of Awards

The Financial Aid Office is reviewing and offering aid to students who submitted Summer Interest Forms by May 6th. If you submitted your application after that date, be prepared to pay tuition with personal funds. Remember, Summer Financial Aid will be based on the number of credits you indicated on the Summer Interest Form, and that applying for Financial Aid does not guarantee you will have enough funds to cover the cost of summer.

Withdrawing from Summer Classes

If you decide not to attend, you will not be automatically dropped. You must officially drop your enrollment even if you do not accept the financial aid offered. If you fail to formally withdraw, you may have to pay for credits you enrolled in. If you accept Financial Aid, failure to attend may result in reduction or cancellation of aid.

I'm an MIT student, and I need to take undergraduate courses during Summer Quarter for my credentials. Can I get financial aid?

Yes, but we need MIT to certify that you are attending undergraduate courses for that purpose. Get the certification form from the MIT Program office. Complete and submit it along with your application for summer aid.
