The following Financial Aid resources will be available for Summer 2024:

If you received the Pell grant during the 2023-2024 academic year and meet one of the following conditions, you may be eligible to receive the Pell grant for the Summer 2024 semester.

  • You are a Pell eligible student who has unused Pell grant (unused Pell is the result of less than full-time enrollment during the Fall 2023 and/or Spring 2024). Pell will be awarded automatically after summer registration is confirmed.
  • You are enrolled for at least 6 credits as a half time student and have remaining lifetime eligibility (Pell will be prorated based on your eligibility and enrollment).

*Please Note:

    • Pell eligibility, including the value of a student's Pell Grant is determined based on the information reported on the FAFSA; therefore, Pell amounts will vary for each student.
    • Students are required to maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) in order to receive federal, state and institutional aid, including in the summer terms. Learn more about SAP.
    • Utilizing summer Pell will affect a students' lifetime Pell eligibility limit. Students can receive up to 12 Pell payments in their lifetime. A semester equals one payment, so each time a student utilizes summer Pell, they will utilize one of their 12 lifetime payments.

If you received the New Jersey State Tuition Aid Grant (TAG) at Stockton University during the 2023-2024 academic year, you may be eligible to receive TAG for the Summer 2024 semester. You may be eligible for a summer TAG payment if you meet all of the following criteria:

  • You are enrolled in six or more credit hours (half-time) in the summer term (TAG will be prorated based on your enrollment)
  • You are matriculated (degree-seeking) at Stockton University for the summer term and are enrolled in courses that will lead to your graduation or academic requirements

*Please Note:

    • TAG eligibility, including the value of a student's TAG is determined based on the information reported on the FAFSA and reported to the Higher Education Student Assistance Authority (HESAA); therefore, TAG amounts will vary for each student.
    • Summer TAG values are considered separate from the regular academic year TAG program, so summer TAG payments will not count against a student's lifetime maximum number of regular TAG payments.
    • TAG cannot be applied to your account to cover fees; therefore, TAG cannot exceed the cost of your tuition charges.
    • Students are required to maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) in order to receive federal, state and institutional aid, including in the summer terms. Learn more about SAP.

If funding is needed to cover the cost of summer enrollment, a parent of a dependent undergraduate student may apply for the Parent PLUS loan. Graduate students may apply for the Graduate PLUS loan. Half time enrollment (at least 6 credits for undergraduate students and 3 credits for graduate students) is required to be eligible for PLUS loans. Both Undergraduate and Graduate students may apply for Private/Alternative Loans.
