Summer Financial Aid Part 1 – Application and Types of Financial Aid for Summer Semester


Summer financial aid is available and is based on the 2008-2009 financial aid application process.

·        Please be aware that the quickest way to file your FAFSA is via “FAFSA on the Web” at "https://www.fafsa.ed.gov/"www.fafsa.ed.gov".

·        In addition, there will be FAFSA Filing and loan entrance counseling workshops available throughout the spring and summer.

·        Please check our webpage ("https://www.monroecc.edu/go/finaid") for workshop schedules and MCC financial aid forms and processes.

The following types of financial aid for summer are available to those who meet the eligibility guidelines:

·        Federal PELL Grant- Based on need; student must file 2008-2009 FAFSA.  Students are recommended to file the FAFSA on-line at "https://www.fafsa.ed.gov/".  NOTE:  Any PELL used in summer may reduce PELL in spring 2009 if full time fall 2008. Students must be registered for at least 3 credit hours.

·        Federal Direct Student Loans- Must be registered for at least six credit hours.  Students must file 2008-2009 FAFSA ("https://www.fafsa.ed.gov/") and indicate on the FAFSA that they would like to be considered for student loans.  Any loan money used in summer counts against annual aggregate loan limit for 2008-2009.   

·        New York State TAP- Based on need, and is only available for accelerated study with very specific requirements.  More information can be found at <www.HESC.com>.  Students must file 2008-2009 FAFSA ("https://www.fafsa.ed.gov/") and a 2008-2009 Express TAP Application (can be filed on-line from the link at the confirmation page of the FAFSA online, or at <www.TAPweb.org>).  NOTE:  Due to New York State budgetary procedures, TAP is not available to pay for summer charges prior to the semester so students who intend to use TAP need to make other payment arrangements, and are usually reimbursed approximately 18 months later when New York State makes summer TAP funds available to schools from the previous year.   

·        Federal Work Study- Based on need; students must file 2008-2009 FAFSA ("https://www.fafsa.ed.gov/") and indicate on the FAFSA that they are interested in work-study  Employment would begin after July 1, 2008.
