Fund Availability

All awards will be based on the student’s remaining annual eligibility and awarding criteria as determined by the limited funding remaining for the Summer Session. Historically, the only funds available for Summer Session 2008 include Parent PLUS Loan, Grad PLUS Loan and remaining Pell Grant and/or Stafford Loan eligibility from the 2007-08 academic year.Some students may experience a delay in delivery of their summer financial aid until spring semester grades are posted to their transcripts and verified for progress. For the complete satisfactory academic progress (SAP) policy, please refer to your academic year time schedule or the Financial Aid website.

Disbursement of Funds

Funds will be available no earlier than the first day of the first session in which you are enrolled.  After funds and eligibility are confirmed:

• If you have direct deposit, funds will be deposited directly to your bank account.
• If you do not have direct deposit
  • Pullman students' checks will be available at Student Accounts/University Receivables.
  • Non-Pullman students' checks will be available at you local campus' Student Services Office.
  • DDP students' checks will be mailed.

REMINDER: Financial aid is awarded in a lump sum for the first block in which you are enrolled. Thus, if you are enrolled in more than one block, you will need to budget your aid to pay tuition and other related expenses over the course of the entire summer.

SAP Note: All students who are enrolled in Summer Session are held to Satisfactory Academic Progress policies that could affect aid delivery in fall. These policies are enforced regardless of whether a student receives financial aid or not during the summer.
