Yes. Limited financial aid is available. Awards will be made on a first-come, first-serve basis to students who qualify for financial aid during the academic year. Students must have a 2021-2022 Profile and FAFSA on file. Students are strongly encouraged to enroll for the total number of hours they intend to take during Maymester and/or second session so their award is based on the total number of hours of enrollment.
