Information about Summer Quarter Financial Aid at Evergreen

Summer Financial Aid can only be offered to regularly enrolled continuing students (including those who are returning from a leave of absence) who have completed the 2008-2009 FAFSA. In other words, if Fall 2009 is your first regularly admitted term, you cannot be offered 2009 Summer Financial Aid.

Applying for Summer Quarter Financial Aid

--First read the Summer Policy.

Summer Registration and Financial Aid Eligibility

You must complete your Summer registration (for both 1st and 2nd sessions) by June 26, 2009 to receive financial aid funding during the Summer Quarter. You will be allowed one change to registration. Exceptions will be considered for students who have been enrolled in classes which are cancelled.

How Eligibility for Summer Quarter Financial Aid is Determined

Summer Financial Aid is tailored to the individual student and depends 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 ($2,003) are about half the allowance for ten weeks.

Living Expenses for Undergraduate Students During Summer Quarter

Living at Home Attending Both Sessions Living at Home Attending 1st or 2nd Session Living On or Off Campus Attending Both Sessions Living On or Off Campus Attending 1st or 2nd Session
Books $308 $154 $308 $154
Room/Board $86 $433 $2,684 $1,342
Transportation $418 $209 $366 $183
Miscellaneous $530 $265 $647 $324
Total $2,122 $1,061 $4,005 $2,003

Living Expenses for Graduate Students During Summer Quarter



Attending Both Sessions Attending 1st or 2nd Session
Books $308 $154
Room/Board $2,684 $1,342
Transportation $366 $183
Miscellaneous $647 $324
Total $4,005 $2,003

To create your personal budget, we add the living costs (above) to your Summer Tuition and Fees, according to the number of enrolled credits indicated on your Summer Interest Form.

Summer Quarter tuition and fees are different than in the regular academic year.

Types of Aid Available for Summer

Students who have not exhausted their maximum Pell Grant during the academic year may be able to receive it during the Summer Quarter. When we receive your Summer Interest Form, we will determine whether you have remaining Pell Grant eligibility.

If you have been receiving EOG (Educational Opportunity Grant), contact the Higher Education Coordinating Board to see if you will continue to be eligible in summer. Most other financial aid programs (such as State Need Grant and tuition waivers, etc.) are unavailable during Summer.

Loans
In general, loans constitute the bulk of summer aid. Since Summer Quarter is part of the 2008-09 Academic Year, only unused 2008-09 eligibility for Stafford Subsidized or Unsubsidized Loans can be awarded. Your eligibility for Summer Stafford loans also depends on your grade level (because maximum annual eligibility varies with grade level).


Class Standing/Credits Earned
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 Stafford Loans will be certified.

Credit Verification Forms

When we receive your Summer Interest Form, we will determine whether you have remaining Stafford Loan eligibility. Parent PLUS Loans and 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.

Stafford Loans

PLUS Loans

Alternative Loans

The last day to certify Summer Loans for the first session is July 17, and for full or second session the last day to certify loans is August 28. Apply for loans as soon as you can after receiving a Summer Financial Aid offer.


Be sure to register before June 26 at the level at which you have requested aid on the Summer Interest Form, or let us know that you have changed your plans. Remember, you will be allowed only one change to your registration.

Timing of Awards

The Financial Aid Office will begin making awards on May 11, to students who have submitted Summer Interest Forms by the deadline, May 8. If you submitted your application after May 8, be prepared to pay tuition with personal funds or an ACT Short Term Loan. Remember, Summer Financial Aid will be based on the number of credits you indicated on the Summer Interest Form.

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 will have to pay for credits you enrolled in.

Summer Work-Study

The deadline to apply for Summer Work-Study was April 24. If you are interested in applying for Summer Work-Study, visit the Student Employment website, or call (360) 867-5520. If you are working under the full-time Summer Work-Study Program, you will not be eligible to receive other Summer Quarter Financial Aid.

I'm an MIT student, and I need to take undergraduate courses during the 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. Also, your maximum loan cannot exceed that of an independent junior or senior while enrolled in these undergraduate level classes, so if you have borrowed more than $12,500 Stafford Loan already (the maximum for undergraduate work), you will have no eligibility during the summer.

You might consider an Alternative Loan.
