How do I apply for summer financial aid?

In addition to completing a FAFSA, you must also complete the online Summer Financial Aid Application. The application and filing timeline will vary depending on which summer program you seek assistance for. UCLA Summer Session application is available on this site beginning April 1. The priority deadline for submitting the summer application is April 30 to be considered for all types of aid. If your summer application is filed after April 30, and/or your FAFSA is submitted after March 2, you will be considered as a late applicant and the types of aid available to you will be limited.
