夏季佩尔助学金-常见问题

If you plan to enroll in Summer courses, a Federal Pell Grant may be available to you. If you are eligible for Summer Pell Grant funding, your Pell Grant will be automatically awarded via GET. 

一般资格要求: 

  • Must have been awarded a Pell Grant for the current academic year. 学生 who did not use the full amount must exhaust their remaining annual limit before becoming eligible for the additional Summer Pell Grant
  • Must have remaining Pell Grant Lifetime 资格
  • Meet satisfactory academic progress (SAP) requirements
  • Must be enrolled and attend a minimum of six units of summer courses. Any combination of units from any summer session counts for summer Pell Grant unless they have remaining annual Pell Grant eligibility

学生 who have remaining Pell Grant eligibility based on LEU (使用的终身资格), will be automatically awarded a Summer Pell Grant. The award posted will be based on full-time enrollment and will be prorated to reflect the number of actual enrollment. 

学生 will only use part of their lifetime eligibility if they enroll in summer courses and a Pell Grant is actually disbursed. Student who do not wish to attend during the summer need to take no action as the award will be canceled and no eligibility will be used.

学生 are provided with a maximum of 12 full-time equivalent semesters Pell Grant eligibility that they may use to complete their first undergraduate baccalaureate degree. If a student enrolled full-time in the fall and spring semester each year, the lifetime eligibility rule would allow for 6 years to complete their degree. The federal 政府ernment measures this in the following manner:

如果佩尔助学金是在一个学期发放的:

单位尝试 使用的终身资格
全日制学制(12个学制以上) 50.0%

三季度招生(9-11个单元)

37.5%

半时制(6-8学分)

25.0%

季度招生(3-5个单元)

12.5%


The sum of the 使用的终身资格 for any term in which a Pell Grant was disbursed regardless of the institution where the grant was received may not exceed 600%.

根据联邦佩尔助学金的规定, students can use some of their lifetime eligibility early by enrolling in summer courses. Remember you must enroll in at least 6 units during summer. The Federal 政府ernment did not allow the option for a Quarter time enrollment in the summer. 学生 should review their overall academic plan to ensure they will graduate in a timely manner as Pell Grant eligibility is capped at 600% including summer awards. The Federal Government allows for no exceptions to this cap.

学生 must have exhausted their full-time Pell Grant award during the fall and spring semesters in order to be eligible for the summer Pell Grant. For example: If Mary was full-time (12 units) in the fall and only three-quarter time (9 units) in the Spring, she has 3 units of Pell Grant eligibility which she must be used during the summer, before she can utilize the summer Pell Grant award. Because she has remaining eligibility from the fall and spring terms, 她不需要注册6个单元. 然而, 如果她想给summer再加3个单位, 把她调到6单位, she will qualify for 3 units of additional summer Pell Grant because she is taking a total of 6 summer units.

Using a Pell Grant during summer counts against your lifetime eligibility. To find out how much Pell Grant funding you have already received, and how much of your lifetime eligibility remains, 请访问 studentaid.政府 并以你的金融服务管理局编号登入.

是的. Units from the May intersession and all summer sessions count towards the minimum 6 unit requirement.  

If you are eligible for Summer Pell Grant funding, your eligibility will be automatically included in your Financial 援助 Award via GET. If you believe you qualify for a Summer Pell Grant but do not see one, contact the 经济援助及奖学金 Office.

Summer Pell Grant disbursement occurs when you are enrolled in and attended 6 units of summer courses. 学生 who are unable to enroll in a minimum of 6 units will not be eligible to receive the federal Pell Grant award disbursement.

学生 who enroll in 6 units and receive their Pell Grant disbursement but withdraw from all 6 units are subject toa withdrawal calculation, which may reduce the award amount that they received.

The maximum Pell Grant may cover up to 85% of summer tuition. Any amount listed on your account after your Financial 援助 Award was disbursed is your financial responsibility.

Annual Pell Grant awards are disbursed mid June. Summer Pell Grant awards are disbursed mid July.
