Aid Available

Pell Grants

Students may be eligible for Pell Grant if they are less than full time for the spring term.

Direct Loans

Subsidized and Unsubsidized Loans have an annual loan limit based on year in school.  If a student borrowed the total loan limit during the fall and spring, there is no additional Direct Loans for winterim.  If the student is changing grade level after fall term, and the new grade level increases the loan limit, the student should contact the Financial Aid Office after fall grades have been processed.

PLUS Loan

Parents may borrow PLUS Loan during winterim by submitting a Parent Loan application.  If the parent is denied the loan, the student may be eligible for additional Unsubsidized Loan based on the annual loan limits.

Alternative Loans

Students can apply for an alternative loan from a private lending institution to help pay for winterim.  Visit the alternative loan page for more information on these types of loans.

Disbursement

Winterim aid disburses at the same time as spring aid.  Students are responsible for making sure the winteirm bill is paid on time.  If there is not enough aid to cover both spring and winterim, students may incur a late charge.  Please contact the Student Accounts Office for billing questions.
