Summer Aid Request Form

To receive federal aid for Summer 2026:

The student must have a 2026-2027 FAFSA on file with satisfied requirements in Lola.
The student must register for at least 6 credit hours to be eligible for federal student loans at RPCC for the entire summer.

Note to students regarding student loan eligibility:

The federal government sets Annual (yearly) maximum loan limits for both subsidized and unsubsidized student loans. We determine your original offer of financial aid based on a typical Fall/Spring enrollment, which splits your annual loan eligibility into 2 parts: half for the fall and half for the spring. By including the summer semester, you may now divide your loans into 3 parts: 1/3 summer, 1/3 fall, and 1/3 spring.

*The government deducts 1.057% of the loan as a processing fee.

Students should carefully consider these regulations and determine what best suits their financial needs.

Important update regarding federal student loans:

ENROLLMENT STATUS
If enrollment is less than full-time, your loan eligibility (annual amount) will be prorated (reduced).

Examples:

UNDERGRADUATE STUDENT
A dependent undergraduate student enrolls in 6 credit hours in the Fall semester and 6 credit hours in the Spring semester, for a total of 12 credit hours for the academic year.

Annual loan eligibility is prorated based on enrollment intensity. In this case:

12 (credit hours) ÷ 24 = 0.5000
0.5000 x $7,500 (senior level loan limit) = $3,750.

In this example, the student would be eligible to receive $3,750 in federal student loans for the academic year. Under prior regulations, the student could have received the full $7,500 annual loan limit, even when enrolled at this level.
