Summer Aid

To be considered for any summer financial aid, you must:

  • file a FAFSA for the 2019-20 year and have been awarded
  • be a continuing student from the 2018-19 academic year, or a new student who will enroll at SDSU for the fall 2019 semester
  • be making Satisfactory Academic Progress, as defined by the Office of Financial Aid & Scholarships, as a result of your cumulative units and grades during the summer 2018, fall 2018, and spring 2019 semesters

Learn about:

Limited funding

Financial aid to attend summer classes is limited and may include estimated student loan(s).  To help you pay the total cost, you may need to borrow a student loan.

Extended studies / study abroad

Contact a financial aid counselor NOW if you plan to enroll only through the College of Extended Studies or if you plan to study abroad.
