There is no separate application for Summer financial aid. Simply complete the 2024-2025 FAFSA application and enroll in summer classes for your account to be reviewed for an award.

Subtract the amount of loans you accepted during the 2023-2024 academic year from the maximum annual borrowing limit for your grade level. Reference the chart below.

Please note, if you have reached your aggregate federal loan limit, you are not eligible for additional federal student loans. Alternative or private loans are available to assist you with paying for school. Contact a financial aid counselor at financialaid@gxitma.net for more information.

Students who received work-study in the Spring may apply for work-study in the Summer. Simply fill out the Work-Study Request form and submit to the Financial Aid Office.

If you received full-time pell for the Fall and Spring semesters, you may be eligible to receive an additional pell award for Summer.  To be eligible for the additional Pell Grant funds, you must meet all pell eligibility requirements and enroll in at least six credit hours for summer.

Scenario 1: Rebecca was enrolled in 12 credit hours (full-time), in both the fall and spring semesters, she received $6495 in pell.  She enrolls in three credit hours for summer (less than half-time).  Rebecca is not eligible for additional pell in summer. 

Scenario 2: Rebecca was enrolled in 12 credit hours (full-time), in both the fall and spring semesters, she received $6495 in pell.  She enrolls in six credit hours for summer (half-time).  Rebecca is eligible for additional pell for summer.

If you did not receive 100% of pell grant funds in the previous terms, you may be eligible for pell even if enrolled in less than six credit hours.

Scenario 3: Rebecca was enrolled in 12 credit hours (full-time) in the fall, but only 9 credit hours (three-quarter time) in spring.  She has received a total of $5684 (75%) of pell grant for the 2021-22 aid year so far.  She enrolls in three credit hours for summer (less than half-time).  Rebecca is eligible for additional pell in summer even though she is only enrolled in three credit hours. This is because she only received 75% of pell in the previous terms, leaving her with 25% remaining.  

The three scenarios above are based on a student with a "0" Estimated Family Contribution (EFC/SAI).  Pell award amounts differ based on the EFC.

You may be eligible to receive the Teach Grant in the Summer if you meet all of the TEACH Grant Eligibility requirements and have not receive the full TEACH Grant payment amount in the previous fall and spring semesters. 

Depending on funding availability, if you received the TEXAS Grant in the Fall and/or Spring semester, you may be eligible to receive the TEXAS Grant in the Summer if you continue to meet the TEXAS Grant eligibility requirements.
