Summer Financial Aid

We're making summer education at Purdue more affordable — with over $4 million in financial aid available for students. Be sure to submit the summer aid application in your myPurdue portal once available in early March.

We also have several scholarships available to students currently enrolled. Information about each opportunity is detailed below.

Summer Stay Scholars (up to $2,500) — This program combines a research or internship experience with summer courses. The opportunity is available to current Purdue students. To be eligible to receive a scholarship for research, a student must have a minimum GPA of a 3.0. To be eligible to receive a scholarshp for an internship, a student must have a minimum GPA of a 2.0.

Summer Double Major, Minors, Underg. Certificates, and Co-op Scholarships

Summer Double Major, Minors, Underg. Certificates, and Co-op Scholarships (up to $1,000) for completing 6+ credit hours of summer course work towards a double major, minor(s), undergraduate certificate, or co-op experience.

Other Financial Aid

A student may receive up to the equivalent of six full-time years of Federal Pell Grants. Visit the Federal Pell Grant website to learn more.

Subsidized loans are determined by "years," not "terms," and eligible students get six years of federally subsidized direct loans. Students may receive unsubsidized federal loans until they borrow their federal aggregate loan limit or until they reach the satisfactory academic progress maximum time frame.

Any questions can be directed to the Division of Financial Aid at Purdue.

You can visit the Office of the Bursar for current tuition and fee rates. Did you know that in the summer you pay the same amount for taking six credit hours as you pay for taking nine credits?
