SUMMER APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

The types of financial assistance available for the summer term are limited compared to the fall and spring terms.
Additionally, amounts for some types of assistance available for the summer will depend upon your annual and aggregate
levels. Please keep in mind that the majority of funding available for the summer term will be LOANS. When processing your
financial aid application, the Office of Student Financial Aid (OSFA) will indicate on your Financial Aid Award Notification all
aid for which you are eligible. You will need to indicate which awards you would like to “accept” or “decline.” You must then
return the signed Financial Aid Award Notification to OSFA by the appropriate deadlines.

Below are more-detailed instructions regarding required documentation, deadlines, degree status, enrollment status and
types of assistance as they pertain to the summer 2010 term.

situations a 2010-11 FAFSA must be on file in the OSFA to be considered for summer assistance.

Veteran Grant, Illinois National Guard Grant, Federal Stafford Loan, Federal Perkins Loan and Federal PLUS loan. If you are
eligible for the Illinois National Guard Grant and/or Illinois Veterans Grant, please make sure to indicate on the application if
you wish or do not wish to use either of these programs for the summer term. If you do plan to use either of the programs for
the summer term, a copy of your ISAC eligibility letter must be on file in OSFA.
