Summer / Intersession Financial Aid
Financial aid functions a bit differently for summer and intersession.
Grants and Scholarships
Grants and scholarships are available for the fall and spring semesters only.
Student Loans
Loans are available to students enrolled at least at half-time status (5 credits), however eligibility depends on what financial aid the student has utilized during the rest of the academic year.
At Denver Seminary the Summer term is a trailer (for example, Summer 2010 is a part of the 2009-10 academic year). This means that if the student has already exhausted his or her Stafford eligibility during the fall and spring semesters, no eligibility will remain for the summer term. If the student still has eligibility remaining, additional funds can be requested for the summer term (once again, assuming an enrollment of at least half-time status) by completing the Additional Loan Funds Request form and submitting it to the Financial Aid Office. If the student will be less than half-time during the summer and/or has already exhausted Stafford eligibility, please contact the Financial Aid Office before May 1st for other options.
Intersession tuition can be paid using spring loan funds, as long as the student has requested/accepted enough financial aid to cover combined intersession and spring tuition before the intersession course starts. If you need to request additional loan funds in order to cover intersession tuition as well, please submit a completed Additional Loan Funds Request form to the Financial Aid Office before the intersession start-date.
If an incoming student is starting classes during intersession or summer, a FAFSA will need to be completed to be eligible for loans. In terms of eligibility, the student will need to be at least half-time (5 credits) during the spring for intersession aid and at least half-time during the summer for summer aid.
