Summer 2013 Financial Aid Information

PLEASE NOTE: REGULATIONS FOR THE FEDERAL PELL GRANTS FOR SUMMER HAVE CHANGED.  Pell grants are available only for students who did not receive their full-time award for Fall/Spring 2012-2013. 

TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR SUMMER FINANCIAL AID, YOU WILL NEED TO MEET THE FOLLOWING REQUIREMENTS:

1. Be degree-seeking at University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa Day school and be enrolled in UHM courses only. Community College courses WILL NOT be funded.
2. Maintain satisfactory academic progress based on UHM Financial Aid Services academic policies.
3. For financial aid to be disbursed, you will need to be enrolled and attending your course(s). For loans to be disbursed you must be attending at least half time during summer (6 credits for undergraduate students; 4 credits for graduate students). Graduate students enrolled in undergraduate course(s) are not able to receive financial aid for the undergraduate course(s). If you are registering for summer extension courses, please check to see which session these courses fall under in order to assure your half-time enrollment.

LIMITED TYPES OF AID THAT MAY BE AWARDED:

1. FEDERAL PELL GRANTS are available to qualified undergraduate students who did not utilize their full Pell Grant eligibility during the standard academic year (Fall/Spring 2012-2013).
2. NEED-BASED SCHOLARSHIPS are available to students who apply for summer aid. Funding is limited.
3. The FEDERAL DIRECT LOAN PROGRAM (FEDERAL SUBSIDIZED/UNSUBSIDIZED STAFFORD, PARENT LOAN (PLUS), and GRADUATE PLUS LOAN) is available for borrowers enrolled at least half time. If you drop below half time your financial aid may be cancelled and you will be required to repay all your aid. Eligibility for the Summer term(s) will be determined by subtracting any amount received during the standard academic year (Fall/Spring 2012-2013) from the annual loan limits. The Stafford loan will arrive in one disbursement.
4. These are estimated dates that your financial aid will be disbursed through the Cashier's Office. Please remember that it can take up to 14 business days for you to receive your refund check. For loans, your financial aid will be disbursed upon confirmation of your attendance in 6 credit hours for undergraduate students; 4 credit hours for graduate students. Please be prepared to pay for expenses prior to disbursement. For option of eRefund (direct deposit), please check your MyUH portal homepage.
