The academic year at Temple University begins with the fall semester followed by the spring semester, and ends with summer sessions. The summer is considered a “trailer” for the majority of undergraduate and graduate programs at the university. This includes offers of summer work-study—see below for details related to the dates students can work over the summer.
Summer 2023 financial aid eligibility is determined based on the information from the 2022–2023 FAFSA application and remaining fiscal year funding. For summer, the 2022–2023 FAFSA must be submitted by June 30, 2023.
Summer financial aid will be limited if you have already used your eligibility during the fall 2022 and spring 2023 semesters. Summer Pell funding cannot be awarded to student accounts until early May.
In order to be considered for summer financial aid, you must meet the federal and university aid eligibility requirements. Important: A student’s satisfactory academic progress (SAP) status is reviewed after spring grades are posted and can impact summer financial aid eligibility. These determinations may occur during summer terms. Do to the condensed nature of summer sessions, we cannot guarantee a SAP review prior to the end of summer add/drop sessions.
Students that complete a degree program (i.e., graduate) and then enroll in summer classes as a nondegree student will not qualify for summer financial aid.
Students enrolled for the summer session(s) that have the 2022–2023 FAFSA on file with Temple University will be reviewed for all forms of available financial aid. Summer financial aid is limited and will be awarded to students on a first-come, first-processed basis.
