Summer Financial Aid

Summer Financial Aid Applications will be available online and in the Financial Aid Office in late January.

Students who would like to borrow from the Stafford Loan program must have eligibility remaining from the prior year. 

Students may not have already borrowed the maximum loan amount during the previous Fall and Spring semester. 

Students interested in Summer Financial Aid must complete a separate Summer Financial Aid Application by March 1, 2008.

To receive Summer Financial Aid undergraduate students must enroll in at least six credits at Radford University. Graduate students must enroll in at least five credits at Radford University. If you filed a 2007-2008 Free Application for Federal Students Aid (FAFSA), your eligibility will be based on that FAFSA.  IF you did not file a 2007-2008 FAFSA, you should complete a 2008-2009 FAFSA.  You may file this online at www.fafsa.ed.gov

Satisfactory Academic Progress will be checked after Spring 2008 grades are posted (for students enrolled at Radford University).  If summer financial aid is awarded to a student who is not making progress after spring grades are reviewed, their financial aid will be cancelled. An appeals process is available. View the policy at finaid.asp.radford.edu .

A summer award letter WILL NOT be sent until you are registered for the credit hours that you reported on your Summer application.  If you need to adjust your hours, you must complete a Change of hours form.

Limited funds are available during the summer.  Normally students will receive a Stafford Loan and a Pell grant if eligible.  Students may only borrow Stafford loan funds if they have remaining eligibility from the prior Fall and Spring semester.
