Do I need to do anything to get summer financial aid at VU?

No — after you register for summer classes, Student Financial Services will check your eligibility automatically and notify you via a summer financial aid letter or in your VU‑x account.

Can I get Pell Grant funds for summer courses?

If you qualified for Pell Grant in the fall and spring semesters, you may be eligible for Summer Pell depending on your enrollment and Student Aid Index (SAI).

Is there a minimum credit‑hour requirement for summer aid eligibility?

Yes — for many summer aid types, students must be enrolled at least half‑time (6 credit hours) to qualify.

What is the Summer Fast‑Track program?

For eligible students (recipients of certain Indiana state grants), Summer Fast Track allows grant aid if they completed at least 30 credit hours during previous fall/spring and are enrolled at least half‑time, have remaining grant eligibility, and apply via ScholarTrack.

Summer Aid & Guidelines

After you are registered for summer classes, Student Financial Services will check your eligibility for summer financial aid. There is nothing you need to do to initiate this process after enrolling. You will receive a financial aid notification letter that shows how much, if any, financial aid is available for summer. You will also be able to see your summer financial aid offers by logging in to your VU-x account.

Students who qualified for Pell Grant funds in the fall and spring semesters may be eligible to receive Pell Grant funds for the summer semester. Summer Pell awards are determined by enrollment (credit hours) and SAI (Student Aid Index).

If you have any questions regarding your summer aid eligibility, please call our office for help at 812-888-4361.
