Summer Federal Aid

Federal Pell Grant

Once students register for summer classes, Pell will automatically be awarded to eligible students.
If students received Pell for fall and spring (full time both semesters), they may be eligible for Year-Round Pell in the summer (if they register for 6+ credits in a single or combined terms).
If students received Pell for fall and spring (less than full time one or both semesters), they may be eligible for Pell from their remaining annual award.

Notes: Pell Grant in the summer reduces student’s Lifetime Eligibility Used (LEU).
For more information, visit the Federal Pell Grants Web page.

Federal Work Study (FWS)

  • Federal Work-Study jobs help students earn money to pay for college.
    If a student was awarded work study in fall or spring, please see the Supervisor for summer job opportunities.
    More information can be found on the Federal Work-Study Web page.

To request a Federal Work Study you must complete the form that best fits your availability/work schedule:

Notes: Under the “Which session are you interested in?“: Select the option that is relevant to your work-study employment availability schedule [e.g. “Summer 2024 – Starting …“].

Summer Tuition Assistance Grant (TAG)

Once students register for summer classes, TAG will automatically be awarded to eligible students.
If students received TAG for fall and spring, they may be eligible for TAG in the summer (if they register for 6 credits or more in a single or combined terms).
More information regarding TAG program can be found on the NJ HESAA Website.
