Eligibility Requirements

• Enroll and complete 6+ credits to be considered for federal and state aid 
• Complete 8+ credits and be grant-eligible during the academic year to be considered for the Summer University Grant
• Submit the Summer Intercampus Form to our office no later than June 1, 2024. Students must submit proof of enrollment along with the form.
• If participating in a study abroad program through the Summer Intercampus Program, you must enroll and complete 6+ credits to be considered for federal, state, and the Summer University Grant. 

Please note: Once we receive the summer intercampus form with your proof of enrollment, you will be offered financial aid. Your financial aid from UC Santa Cruz will be paid to you directly. It is your responsibility to pay your summer charges. You must submit an unofficial transcript confirming you completed the credits you received aid for. Your financial aid will be canceled if it is not received by the due date. 

As you explore the option of participating in the summer intercampus program, there are some financial aid facts to keep in mind: 

• Students who meet the eligibility criteria will be offered a combination of grant and loans or loans only depending on their need to meet the cost of attendance for the summer 
• Students attending summer should not expect to receive the same financial aid provided during the fall, winter, and spring quarters.
• Students participating in UCSC-approved summer special programs, including study abroad programs, and who enroll in 6 or more credits may be eligible for grant funding.
• Credit minimums do not apply to students who do not receive aid or who can pay tuition out of pocket. 
• Undergraduate Students with a Pell-eligible EFC enrolled in 6 or more credits may be eligible for grant funding.
