Options for Meeting Your Summer Educational Costs

You may have received a notification from the Office of Financial Aid that states you have no remaining federal aid funds for the summer term. 

This could be for a handful of reasons:

• You may have used your annual amount of student loans already this academic year.
  • Undergraduate Loan Limits: $5,500-$12,500
    • Freshmen (0-29 Hours): $5,500 Dependent; $9,500 Independent
    • Sophomore (30-59 Hours): $6,500 Dependent; $10,500 Independent
    • Juniors/Seniors (60+ Hours): $7,500 Dependent; $12,500 Independent
  • Graduate Loan Limits: $20,500
• You may have used your lifetime (aggregate) amount of student loans.
• You may not be enrolled in enough hours for student loans to disburse (loans require half-time enrollment: undergraduate students need 6 credit hours of summer enrollment; graduate students need 3 hours of summer enrollment).
• You may not be eligible for additional Pell grant funding due to your SAI and your summer enrollment intensity (the Pell Grant prorates to your hours enrolled up to 12 credit hours).
• You may not be eligible for additional Pell grant funding due to reaching your Pell Lifetime Eligibility Usage Limit.
• To receive aid, you must be enrolled in a degree-bound program at Wichita State. Only course work required for your degree will count as part of financial aid enrollment each semester.
