Summer Financial Aid Part 2 – Types of Financial Aid for the Summer


Summer financial aid is available and is based on the 2009-2010 financial aid application process.  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 2009-2010 FAFSA.  Students are recommended to file the FAFSA on-line at "
https://www.fafsa.ed.gov/". 
-- Federal Direct Student Loans- Must be registered for at least six credit hours.  Students must file 2009-2010 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 2009-2010.   
-- New York State TAP- Based on need and intended for accelerated study. Students must be registered for at least six credit hours for the Summer term, be enrolled full time during the preceding Spring semester and have earned 24 or more credit hours at MCC during the prior two semesters.  More information can be found at www.HESC.com.  Students must file 2009-2010 FAFSA ("
https://www.fafsa.ed.gov/") and a 2009-2010 Express TAP Application (can be filed on-line from the link at the confirmation page of the FAFSA on-line, 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 2009-2010 FAFSA ("
https://www.fafsa.ed.gov/") and indicate on the FAFSA that they are interested in work-study Employment would begin after July 1, 2009.
