Summer financial aid
Limited funds are available for summer. Most students, even if they receive some summer funding, will still pay out-of-pocket costs too.
Eligibility
To be considered for aid:
- You must have a valid FAFSA/WASFA on file for the current academic year.
- Undergraduates must be enrolled in at least six credits. Graduate students must be enrolled in at least three credits.
- You must be a degree-seeking student and making satisfactory academic progress toward completion of your degree.
Fund availability
Because most students have received their maximum Pell grant and loan funds during the academic year, summer funds are extremely limited. Typically, students attending summer session receive any unused Pell, Washington College Grant, or Direct Loans from the academic year (as well as Parent PLUS loan for dependent undergraduates or Graduate PLUS loan for graduate students).
Most academic awards are not available in the summer, including SEOG, Cougar Commitment, Work-Study, Vancouver Academic Achievement Award, Vancouver Transfer Award, PDX Tuition Advantage, Vancouver Leaders for Social Change Award, and Community College President's Award.
