Summer Financial Aid


Summer financial aid is available and is based on the 2009-2010 financial aid application process.  The following types are available to those who meet the eligibility guidelines:

-- Federal PELL Grant - Based on need, students must file 2009-2010 FAFSA. 
-- Federal Direct Student Loans- Must be enrolled in at least six credit hours.  Students must file 2009-2010 FAFSA.
-- Federal Work Study - Based on need, students must file FAFSA for 2009-2010 and employment would begin July 1, 2009.  Priority would be given to full time students.
-- New York State TAP - Based on need, and is only available for accelerated study with very specific requirements.  More information can be found at "https://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 "https://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.

Any student applying for student aid for summer must:

-- Be matriculated in a Degree Program at MCC.
-- Meet satisfactory academic progress standards as required for Federal and State Financial Aid eligibility. Please refer to the Monroe Community College catalog.
-- Be certified as having attended class by instructors on the Class Attendance Rosters.
-- Have fulfilled the loan counseling requirements (if paying with a student loan) and signed promissory note if required.

Students can apply for a deferment of summer tuition if they have filed 2009-2010 FAFSA and can demonstrate eligibility to the Financial Aid Office. 

In addition, students should be aware that there will be no summer refund checks mailed to students taking courses in Summer Session II until at least the end of the third week of July.  Students who attend only Session I courses would not be issued refunds until the session has been completed.  Students are expected to plan to provide their own educationally related living expenses until refunds are issued.
