Financial Aid for Summer Semester

General information about summer semester at MSU can be found at the MSU SummerStudy website.

How to apply for summer aid

To request aid for summer, logon to StuInfo, and select eFinaid from the menu. You'll find the summer link in the status page section titled "Items available for action at any time". You can use this site to track your summer aid processing. We'll also send you an email notice when we have processed your aid.

You must complete a summer aid application even if you indicated on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) that you planned to attend summer semester.

You must also file the FAFSA for the appropriate academic year. At MSU summer is considered the "trailer" of the academic year (fall, spring and then summer semester make up the aid year). In order to receive financial aid for summer 2008, you  must file the 2007-2008 FAFSA by June 30, 2008.

When to apply

Summer aid applications are accepted in StuInfo/eFinaid beginning in January for the following summer.

In order to receive first priority consideration you should request summer aid before March 1.

Summer aid may be prorated based on your enrollment

Since enrollment periods vary during the summer (a course may last a few days or all summer) your aid may be prorated based on YOUR summer enrollment period. Also, summer disbursement cannot occur until 10 days prior to YOUR first day of summer enrollment.
