Summer Study


Summer Session Loans

Federal Direct Loan funds may be available for Summer study under the following very specific circumstances:

  1. You have not used up your full Direct loan eligibility during the academic year, AND
  2. You take a minimum of two courses, both at Tufts.

You may look at your award on SIS Online to see if you have reached your maximum grade level Stafford borrowing.  See  Loan Limits for grade level maximum amounts.

If you believe you have eligibility for the loan you must read, complete and submit a Summer Contract, available from your Aid Counselor, or at the Student Services Desk, and which can also be downloaded here.


Summer Session Scholarship

There are a limited number of small scholarships available for study in either summer session at Tufts. Priority will go to the highest need students, particularly those who are Pell grant recipients.  The tuition only scholarship is for up to two courses, maximum.  Download the Summer Scholarship form and submit this before March 1.
