Student's loan eligibility is determined by the number of credits for which you are enrolled and the number of weeks that you will be attending summer sessions. Students may borrow up to the cost of tuition ($895 per credit hour) plus approximately $350 per week for living expenses during summer enrollment.

• By completing the FAFSA and the Syracuse University Undergraduate Summer Financial Aid Application (via your Task List on your Portfolio) you are applying for the Federal Stafford Loan. After the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarship Programs certifies your loan eligibility you will be emailed a Financial Aid Award Notice to your syr.edu email address.

• You must be registered for at least 6 credit hours at Syracuse University before your loan funds will be released to Syracuse University.
  
• Students may not receive more than the maximum loan amount, even if they enroll in MAYmester and both summer sessions.
  
• Summer student loans are disbursed in the beginning of the enrollment period.
  
• If you are due a refund from your loan, you must request it from the Bursar’s Office or online at myslice.syr.edu after your classes begin.
  
• Loans borrowed for the summer will not affect academic year eligibility, however the loan will be applied towards the total aggregate limit of $23,000.
  
• To ensure that your loan funds arrive at the beginning of the summer semester, complete this application at least 3 weeks before your program begins.
  
• You may apply up until the last week of the summer session you attend. Applications received after the end of your enrollment period cannot be processed.
