Summer 2010 Book Vouchers

As the Spring 2010 semester wraps up we are all looking ahead to the Summer 2010 semester! If you are taking classes this summer and you receive financial aid, then you are probably already aware of the many changes in financial aid this year surrounding the Summer semester.

For starters, if you are a Pell grant recipient and you came full time in Fall and Spring, you may be eligible to receive an additional Pell disbursement this summer.

The deadline to apply for a Summer only student loan is June 11. If you know that you are going to need a student loan for Summer 2010, make sure to get your request completed before this date.

Book vouchers for Summer 2010 start TODAY! If you have received additional awards after your tuition has been paid, you may be able to access these funds to purchase your textbooks. Simply login to your Campus Cruiser account, go to Web Advisor, and find the Book Voucher tab on the left hand column. Print this voucher out and bring it to any GTC Campus bookstore to purchase textbooks using your financial aid excess funds.

Also, remember to file your 2010-2011 FAFSA if you have not done so already! The priority deadline has already passed, but you are still encouraged to file your FAFSA if you plan on enrolling in Fall 2010.

As always, please leave a comment or a question regarding any financial aid information!
