Undergraduate Students
How to Apply for a Summer Financial Aid Award as an Undergraduate Student
- File the 2012-2013 FAFSA at www.fafsa.gov, if you have not already done so.
- Register for your summer classes through the online student system, after registration opens for Summer University.
- Watch for an email from Student Financial Services noting that you have outstanding requirements. Once you receive the email, check your requirements online, and complete the Summer Aid requirement.
Please note the following:
- The last date to submit the 2012-2013 FAFSA is June 30, 2013.
- Student Financial Services will begin to generate summer financial aid awards in May.
- Any accepted aid will disburse no earlier than 10 days before the earliest of your enrolled summer courses, providing any associated requirements have been completed.
Types of Aid Available to Undergraduate Students for Summer
- University Summer Loan: Undergraduate students enrolled in at least 3 credits may be eligible for the University Summer Loan. Eligibility for the University Summer Loan is based on financial need and availability of the fund. The UVM Summer Loan is interest free while the student is enrolled at least half time and has a fixed 5.0% interest rate in repayment. Repayment begins 9 months after the student falls below half-time enrollment.
-
Stafford Loans: Undergraduate students enrolled in at least 6 credits may be eligible for limited Stafford Loan eligibility.
Stafford Loans are available ONLY if the student did NOT borrow all available Stafford Loan funds during the fall 2012 and spring 2013 semesters.
- For example, Student was eligible for $2,750 Unsubsidized Stafford loan in the fall 2012 and $2,750 in spring 2013.
However, Student borrowed $1,750 each semester instead of the offered $2,750.
Thus, Student has $2,000 in 2012-2013 Stafford Loan eligibility remaining for the summer session, which he may be eligible for if he enrolls in at least 6 credits.
- Parent PLUS Loan: Parents of dependent undergraduate students may borrow a Federal Direct Parent PLUS Loan for the student if the student is enrolled in at least 6 credits. The Federal Direct Parent PLUS Loan requires credit approval, and the parent borrower will need to complete a Request for PLUS Loan online at www.studentloans.gov. This request should be submitted no earlier than March 1, 2013. If applied for too early, the credit check may expire before the summer session begins, and the parent would then need to reapply. If the parent has not borrowed a PLUS Loan within the last 10 years through the Federal Direct Loan Program, he/she will also need to complete a PLUS Loan Master Promissory Note at www.studentloans.gov.
- Federal Pell Grant: In limited cases, based on enrollment status and financial need, a student may be eligible for a Federal Pell Grant.
- Study Abroad: Students who are studying abroad should contact Student Financial Services (sfs@uvm.edu) for information regarding aid eligibility.

- Graduate PLUS Loan: Graduate students enrolled in at least 6 credits may be eligible to borrow through the Graduate PLUS Loan program. Graduate PLUS Loans require a credit check for approval and students can generally borrow up to the cost of attendance, less other aid received for the enrollment period.
