Calculate Anticipated Summer 2013 Aid Eligibility

West Lafayette and College of Technology Statewide Locations

To calculate your anticipated summer aid , please review the following information regarding each resource listed:

Pell Grant Eligibility:As long you had Pell Grant in the academic year, but were not enrolled fulltime each semester you could be eligible to receive Pell Grant during the summer.   

Example: A student who attended full-time in the fall and half-time in the spring, would still have a half-time Pell award remaining for the summer 2013 session.

For further information regarding Pell grant eligibility, refer to the information on our website:  http://www.purdue.edu/dfa/sandg/pell.php

Stafford Loan eligibility: Stafford loan eligibility is contingent on upon your summer grade level and your academic year borrowing. 

Example: As a sophomore the annual maximum is $6,500.  If you only borrowed $5,000 during the academic year you could be eligible to borrow up to $1,500 for summer.

If you have not borrowed your annual maximum amount please visit: http://www.purdue.edu/dfa/loans/stafford.php to calculate your remaining eligibility.

PLUS Loan: PLUS Loans can be taken out to cover the cost of education minus other types of financial aid.  However, these loans require a credit check and not all that apply are approved to borrow.  Please view this webpage for more information: http://www.purdue.edu/dfa/loans/plus.php

Summer Work Study: Students who were awarded work study during the academic year and would like to receive work study during the summer 2013 session will need to request this on their summer aid application.  A student could potentially receive up to a $1000 work study award.  Work study will be awarded as long as funding is available.

Institutional Gift Aid: Some limited institutional gift aid is available to students during summer enrollment.  This funding is dependent on availability and is subject to change.  Students must be enrolled in at least 6 credit hours.
