Summer Financial Aid
Note: for financial aid purposes Summer is treated as one enrollment period. You will
not receive any financial aid until you are actively taking classes.
In order to be reviewed for Summer 2024 financial aid eligibility students must have
a 2023-2024 FAFSA on file. To ensure you have a 2023-2024 FAFSA on file please review your your SBCC account. A Summer Federal Pell Grant award depends upon the student's grant usage in the
Fall 2023 and Spring 2024 semesters. Once Summer is awarded students will be notified
via campus email.
Summer Federal Pell Grant Eligibility-Students who had Full Time enrollment status during Fall 2023 and Spring 2024
A student who used 100% of their Federal Pell Grant award for the Fall 2023 and Spring
2024 semesters may be eligible for an additional Pell Grant Award for the Summer 2024
period of enrollment. Students may have more Pell Grant eligibility for Summer if they:
- Are enrolled in a total of 6 units (half time) in the Summer
- Have Lifetime Pell Grant Eligibility remaining
- Are meeting all other eligibility requirements to receive financial aid
- Are meeting Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) requirements
A student who receives a Summer Federal Pell Grant and does not maintain enrollment in at least 6 units, may lose all or part of their Summer award and will likely have to repay the college.
Summer Federal Pell Grant Eligibility-Students with Part Time enrollment status for Fall 2023 and/or Spring 2024
A student who used part of their Federal Pell Grant for Fall 2023 and/or Spring 2024 semester may have remaining Pell Grant eligibility for the Summer semester.
Federal Direct Loans- Student and PLUS
Students may apply for Federal Direct Loans and/or alternative loans for the Summer
semester. Maximum loan eligibility is based on the student’s grade level and dependency status. If a student is requesting a Federal Direct loan for the first time in the 2023-2024
aid year they must complete all steps outlined in our website: SBCC Loans 'How do I request a Direct Loan'. Students may have Direct Loan eligibility for Summer if they:
- Have not already borrowed the maximum loan amount for the year
- Are meeting Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) requirements
- Are actively enrolled in a minimum of 6 units
