  • Spring 2025 Disbursement Information

There are Federal financial aid options available for students enrolling in a summer term. Eligible continuing and new students are considered for summer financial assistance by meeting the following criteria:

Summer Financial Assistance Eligibility Criteria

  • Must have completed a 2024-2025 FAFSA (for Federal aid consideration).
  • Must be enrolled in a degree-seeking program.
  • Must be enrolled for the current summer term.
  • Must be meeting Satisfactory Academic Progress guidelines.

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

  • The enrollment you indicate on your Summer Aid Request must match your actual enrollment in order for us to process your aid request.
  • 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.
PLEASE NOTE: If you change your initial credit hour enrollment after submitting the Summer Aid Request, you must re-submit the request.

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

Please allow up to three (3) weeks after you have submitted your Summer Aid Request for us to determine your summer aid eligibility.

Minimum Enrollment Requirement

In order to be considered for Federal loan and institutional grant fund eligibility you must be enrolled in at least a half-time enrollment level. Enrollment statuses are listed below:
Undergraduate Student Graduate Student

9 – 11 credit hours
7 – 8 credit hours
Half-Time
6 – 8 credit hours
5 – 6 credit hours
Less Than Half Time

Disbursement Information

Your funding will be released (disbursed) to your student account after the census date (the last day to drop a class via MavLINK to receive a full refund) of the session in which you reach a half-time enrollment level. You will be able to view summer disbursement dates on the summer aid request.

PLEASE NOTE:

  • Summer funding is limited to your remaining eligibility for the academic year. Students who do not have remaining eligibility will be notified by email.
If a student changes enrollment after financial aid has been awarded, summer financial aid may need to be reduced.

Sources of Summer Financial Aid

The types of aid you will be considered for are dependent upon your degree seeking status, enrollment, and program eligibility.

Type of Aid

Additional Information

Federal Pell Grant

Students who are eligible to receive a Federal Pell Grant according to the Student Aid Index (SAI) calculated on the 2024-2025 FAFSA may be eligible to receive Federal Pell Grant funds during the Summer 2025 term. The amount awarded will be prorated based on enrollment, not to exceed 50% of the maximum amount listed on your Student Aid Report (SAR).

A student is eligible to receive Federal Pell Grant funds at a minimum of 1 credit hour of enrollment. The amount awarded will count toward the student's Pell Lifetime Eligibility Used (maximum lifetime limit).

PLEASE NOTE: Students awarded a Federal Pell Grant for the Summer 2025 semester will have their Federal Pell Grant adjusted to reflect actual enrollment as of the Pell Recalculation Date, July 9, 2025. The only courses that will be included in total enrollment for Pell grant eligibility will be those courses for which a student is currently enrolled or that have been assigned a letter grade. Withdrawn courses, dropped courses, courses graded as an "unofficial withdrawal" (failed and stopped attending before the end of the semester), courses graded as "I" (Incomplete), and all courses not assigned a letter grade will not be considered when determining the enrollment level as of July 9, 2025.

Institutional Grants (if available)

Institutional grants may be available for undergraduate students enrolled at least half-time. If you are eligible, you will be packaged institutional grants when your Summer Aid Request is being reviewed.

Federal Direct Subsidized and Unsubsidized Loans

Eligibility is subject to annual and aggregate (lifetime maximum) borrowing limits.

For Federal Direct Subsidized Loans, eligibility is dependent upon demonstrated financial aid need and grade level.

Typically requires credit check and may require co-signer. Eligibility is dependent upon credit check results and lender underwriting criteria.

May be an option to consider if your summer aid options are limited or you are ineligible to receive Federal financial aid for summer.
