Capitol Times Friday, March 16, 1984 Summer financial aid programs open Summer 1984 student aid applications are now available in the Financial Aid Office in the Undergraduate Admissions Center. Ap7 plications must be received no later than April 9, 1984 in order to be considered. Credit requirements for summer aid programs are as follows: National Direct Student Loan (NDSL) If funds are available to make NDSL awards, six credits will be considered full-time. College Work Study Program (CWSP) -- Only full-time CWSP is available for summer 'B4. Students requesting full-time CWSP may be enrolled for any number of credits or not enrolled for the summer term. This is a change from previous policy which limited the credit load to less than full-time. However, please note that only students returning to Penn State for the 1984-85 academic year (as full-time) are eligible to apply for summer full-time CWSP. Guaranteed Student Loan (GSL) -- The Guaranteed Student Loan program considers six credits to be full-time for the summer session. Part-time students carrying not less than three to five credits are also eligible to apply. The processing of summer GSL's will begin shortly. Pell Grant -- A Pell Grant for summer session is only available to students who did not receive a full-year award for 1983-84. The award amount for summer 'B4 is determined in proportion to the enrollment of: six credits , nine credits , 12 credits or more. PHEAA Grant -- Students must complete 12 or more credits to be eligible. Because of the abbreviated enrollment periods, students may elect to enroll for a total of 12 credits over two consecutive summers (e.g., six credits per summer) to receive one payment of the PHEAA Grant. Disbursement would be made upon completion of the 12 credits. Those electing to apply in this manner must submit the summer PHEAA application during the summer that disbtirsement will be made. The first payment for students electing this option would be summer, 1985. Applications for the PHEAA summer payment become available in late April.
