Students must plan ahead
for summer school by reserving funds to cover these expenses.If you borrow the maximum loan amounts based on your grade
level during the 2009-2010 academic year, you will not have loan
funds available to cover summer school expenses.Visit
http://finaid.uncc.edu/Loan-Info.html for information on the
annual maximum grade level award amounts.
Stafford loans, Parent PLUS
Loans or private loans are generally the only types of aid available
for summer school. If you used a partial federal Pell Grant during
the 2009-10 academic year due to part time enrollment, or if you
were enrolled for only one semester or have progressed a grade
level, you may be eligible to receive a Pell grant for your summer
enrollment.
If you need funds for
summer school and have remaining eligibility, you will need to
complete a separate UNC Charlotte summer financial aid application
and the 2009-10 FAFSA. Go
to www.fafsa.ed.govto complete the 2009-10 FAFSA
form.Make sure UNC
Charlotte’s school code (002975)
is listed on the FAFSA.
The summer school application will be available online as well as in
the Office of Student Financial Aid in mid April for the upcoming
summer, and must be completed within the specified deadlines each
year.
Undergraduate students must
be enrolled for a total
of at least 6 hours in the summer to receive a Stafford Loan.
Graduate students must be enrolled for a
total of at least 3
credit hours in the summer to receive a Stafford Loan.Your summer financial aid award is based on the total number
of registered hours. If you change summer session terms of
enrollment or reduce the total number of enrolled hours due to
dropping or cancellation of classes, your award will be reduced
accordingly or possibly cancelled.
