Summer Aid
Summer aid may be available to undergraduate students to assist in completing their degree requirements.
How to Apply
Current aid recipients: After you have determined your summer enrollment plans, complete the Summer Aid Application below. All summer programs, including field study and other off-campus programs, use the same summer aid application. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, and award notifications are typically sent within approximately 2-3 weeks after submission.
If you only wish to receive your federal eligibility (e.g., Pell Grant) for the summer term, you are not required to complete the summer aid application. We will add your federal aid after you are registered for classes and closer to the start of summer term.
Non-Aid Recipients: Students who have not previously applied for aid during the academic year should contact our office to learn what additional application materials are required and what types of aid you may be eligible to receive.
Summer Aid Estimates
If you have not yet finalized your summer enrollment plans, you are welcome to request a summer aid estimate to receive an outline of your approximate aid eligibility. If you need an aid estimate for a potential summer student abroad program, please email your request our office at undergradaid@u.northwestern.edu as the online request form is not yet available.
Summer Aid Application
The official 2025 summer aid application will be available in the early spring.
