All institutional awards – including merit and need-based awards – are offered during the fall and spring semesters only. Loyola scholarship and grant funds are not available during the Summer Session.
Students who are enrolled at least half-time in 6 or more Summer Session credits -and- who qualified for a Pell grant during the regular 2022-23 school year may qualify for additional Pell grant funds for summer courses. Eligibility is based on: financial need from the FAFSA; remaining lifetime Pell grant eligibility; and enrollment status during the Summer Session.
Students who were not eligible for the Pell grant during the regular 2022-23 school year are not eligible during the Summer Session.
Pell grants are automatically awarded to eligible students for the Summer Session, whether they have completed an application for Summer Session financial aid or not.
