Summer Aid

While some of our standard financial aid options are unavailable during summer quarters, we do offer limited aid opportunities for students who opt to take听summer classes. If you apply by the priority deadline and meet eligibility requirements, you'll have the option to receive a comparable amount of merit- and need-based aid as you would each quarter during the academic year.

The summer aid application is now closed.

Do you need aid for the summer? Send and email to finaid@du.edu.

The application for 2025 will be available in April.
