Summer Financial Aid Options

Summer is a great time to keep moving towards graduation and financial aid is available to eligible Cuyahoga Community College students who plan to enroll in the Summer 2025 Sessions, including newly admitted students. This webpage will outline the steps on applying for financial aid for the summer and some basic financial aid information about the type of aid available.

Steps for Applying for Summer Aid

Step 1: If you have not already done so, complete the 2024-2025 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).  The FAFSA will be available until June 30, 2025 for students to complete. 

Step 2: Review your current financial aid status in My Tri-C Space or call the Student Financial Aid & Scholarships Office to ensure that all requirements and documentation have been submitted.

Step 3: Review your financial aid award to see if you currently have financial aid awarded for the Summer semester. If not, go to Step 4. If you do have financial aid, but it is not enough to cover your summer charges, contact Student Financial Aid & Scholarships Office to discuss other financial aid options.

Step 4: Register for summer classes in your program of study.  Courses scheduled that are not part of your degree audit will not count as financial aid eligible courses.

Step 5: Once registered for the summer semester, your financial aid award will be revised to include summer and you will receive an email letting you know to log into My Tri-C Space to review your updated financial aid award.
