The Summer Aid Request online form,
accessed through
UV Link's Financial Aid Menu (login required),
is now available for Summer 2010.
Summer is the last semester of our academic year here at UVU. Please complete
all of the standard application requirements,
if you are a new or returning student.
There are two types of awards available for summer; Pell grants and student loans. The
awards are based on individual student eligibility.
Pell Grant Information and Rules for Summer
- New: Beginning this summer, if you attended school full-time both Fall and Spring semesters at UVU or another college, and you received Pell grant during those semesters, you will have remaining Pell eligibility for Summer if you’ve met all eligibility requirements. One of these requirements is that you be enrolled at least half time.
- No summer Pell Grant awards will be calculated after June 15, 2010. No exceptions can be made!
- It is your responsibility to ensure that you are properly enrolled with all financial aid requirements completed and no holds on your file that would prevent or delay Pell award calculation and disbursement by the above deadline.
- Your award calculation is based on full time enrollment; your award disbursement will be based on the number of credit hours for which you are enrolled at the time of disbursement.
Student Loan Information and Rules for Summer
- New: Due to recent legislation and economic conditions, UVU must transition away from the Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFELP). Because of this, we will begin using the Federal Direct Student Loan Program (DL) for some students for summer semester and for all students for fall semester. Also, because of this transition, all loan processing (steps the school takes and steps the student takes) must be completely finished by May 14, 2010 or you will not receive a student loan for summer -- no exceptions!
- It is imperative that you review the information this webpage www.uvu.edu/financialaid/summerloans/ and check with our office if you have questions regarding the steps you must complete within the narrow window of time allowed. If you miss the narrow window of time to process your loan, you will not receive a loan for summer – no exceptions!
- To receive a loan, you must be enrolled for a minimum of six credit hours, complete Loan Counseling on-line, sign a Master Promissory Note (MPN), and satisfy all UVLink requirements. Check back often - do not assume everything is taken care of.
- If you attended UVU or another school during the 0910 school year and received loans, you may not have any remaining loan eligibility.
Information and Rules that Apply to all Summer Awards
- Your financial aid will not be released before the first day of classes. Be prepared to pay for your books on your own.
- You are responsible for your tuition and fee charges regardless of financial aid eligibility. UVU provides the Tuition Payment Plus Plan which allows you to pay your tuition in monthly increments.
- The Tuition Payment Plus Plan is a binding agreement between UVU and the student. It must be paid in full and on time regardless of the status of financial aid.
For terms and conditions, please refer to the "the Summer Aid Request online form" accessed through the
UV Link's Financial Aid Menu (login required) and the
Summer Loans webpage.
It is your responsibility to check your UV Link Financial Aid "Status" menu
often and come speak to a Financial Aid Counselor if you have any questions.
UVU provides financial assistance to all eligible students regardless of race, color, national origin, sex, age, or disability. If you need language assistance or accommodation, please inform us when you first contact our office.
