Financial Aid for summer school is a separate process from the academic year. The following steps are necessary to complete the application process:

• Complete and submit a 2008-2009 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to the federal processor.
  List the CPCC Title IV school code 002915. You can apply for the FAFSA application online at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov. If you already have a 2008-2009 award, you do not need to complete the FAFSA.
• Register for summer 2009 courses.
• Update your address with Student Records if it will change during the summer.

CPCC considers a financial aid year to begin in the Fall and end in the Summer the following year.   Summer, therefore, is the end of the academic year.  For instance, aid for the Summer 2009 is based on the 2008-2009  academic year’s Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) information.

Summer Awards

Financial aid for the Summer Semester is limited to the Federal Pell Grant and the Federal Work-Study programs.  Many students will have received their full annual maximum amounts fro the Federal Pell Grant Program during the Fall and Spring semesters and will not have any federal aid remaining for the summer term.

If a student received a Federal Pell Grant for the Fall and Spring semester for full-time enrollment, they do not have remaining Pell Grant eligibility for the Summer term.

If a student has remaining Federal Pell Grant eligibility (not full-time for the Fall and Spring terms) and meet all other eligibility requirements, a completed Summer Financial Aid Application should be submitted to our office no later than May 10th.   

Please note:

Spring semester compliance with the SAP policy cannot be determined until the final grades are received.   Therefore, if a student is registered for classes and determined not to be in compliance with SAP, they may be billed to repay any financial aid received for the Summer.  This also includes any bookstore purchases.

Changes in Enrollment

If you drop below  half-time enrollment (6 credit hours) or drop a course during the summer, you may become ineligible for all or a portion of your financial aid.     

Deadlines

Priority deadline for this application is May 10, 2009.  All funds may not be available after May 10th.  Failure to meet this deadline may result in a delay of financial aid.

Applying Late

Late applications for summer financial aid will be accepted until August 4, 2008. After this date we will no longer be processing summer financial aid.
