  • Must be enrolled in a degree-seeking program.
  • Must be enrolled for the current summer term.

Complete the Summer Aid Request in MavLINK after registering for summer courses. This application allows our office to determine your summer financial aid eligibility.

  • You will be notified via email when your summer financial aid award is viewable in MavLINK.
  • Students and parents should consider all of their costs to determine how much funding will be needed for summer attendance. Our office will build a cost of attendance for your summer enrollment after we have reviewed your Summer Aid Request.
  • If you are a new transfer student to UNO, your summer financial aid eligibility may be limited based on aid received at the prior institution(s) attended.

Summer aid notices will be emailed to current students as a reminder to complete the Summer Aid request in early March. Summer awards are normally generated in early April.
