Students may be eligible to use financial aid during a summer semester abroad depending on the type of aid they have and the type of program they are enrolled in. For more information, please visit our Education Abroad & Financial Aid webpage.

If you would like to reallocate your federal Direct Loans during the summer semester to fund your study abroad, you can complete the Uneven Disbursement Request Form. Please be aware that Direct Loan (Subsidized/Unsubsidized) money will be removed from the fall/spring semester(s) and put into the summer semester based on your financial aid eligibility. This money cannot be replaced with more federal Direct Loans and the result will be less funding during the fall/spring semesters. This form is not a request for additional financial aid; it simply reallocates the Federal Direct Loan money that you have already been awarded for the year.

To request this adjustment due to additional costs incurred in a summer study abroad program, you must already be committed to the program and indicate on the form that it is for study abroad costs.
