Summer Financial Aid

Summer financial aid is awarded from the 2011-2012 FAFSA application and is considered part of the 2011-2012 academic year at MSU Billings.

If you’ve already been awarded financial aid through MSU-Billings during the current aid year (2011-2012):

Once you’ve registered for ALL your summer credits, give a copy of your summer schedule to the financial aid office
Make note on the schedule if you are interested in loans, work study, or both. We will first attempt to award grants but funding is limited

**If you request work study for summer 2012, you need to have a 2012-2013 FAFSA on file.

Available summer funding depends on the types and amount of assistance used during fall and spring
Once you’ve been awarded, you’ll receive an email indicating you have a revised award letter available through your student secure log-in
You do NOT need to respond to the email or the award
Notify our office immediately if you do NOT want any portion of the summer aid listed

If summer is your first semester at MSU Billings, or if you have not received financial aid for fall and/or spring:

If you have not already done so, go to www.fafsa.ed.gov, and complete the 2011-2012 application
If you HAVE completed a 2011-2012 FAFSA but have not had the information sent to MSU Billings, add our school code (002530) to your FAFSA by:
