Federal Direct Loan Information
Eligible students will be awarded the Federal Direct Stafford Loan. Students who have borrowed the annual
maximum for Direct Stafford Loans or who have summer costs in excess of the Stafford Loan are eligible to borrow a
Direct Graduate PLUS Loan for summer. To apply, please visit www.studentloans.gov and select ‘Complete PLUS
Request Process.’ The loan period must be for summer only and the requested loan amount should include only
the funds you wish to borrow for summer. Students will also need to apply separately for PLUS loan funds for each
of the fall and spring semesters.
If you wish to decline or reduce a loan amount, please use the form on our website titled ‘Request for Decrease of
Federal Loan.’
Student Disclosure Statement and Signature
I certify that the information contained in this application is true and complete. I will notify the Office of Financial
Aid in writing of any change in my family’s financial status. If I have questions about summer financial aid and my
eligibility, I will consult with the Office of Financial Aid. I understand:
1. If it is determined that I am not making satisfactory academic progress after the spring semester, my summer
financial aid will be revoked even if it has already been disbursed to my student account and I have received a
refund. I understand that I would be responsible for any resulting balance due.
2. I must be enrolled at least half-time to receive a loan for summer school.
3. I must notify the Office of Financial Aid in writing with any changes in enrollment status.
4. Grant funds are not available for summer classes.
5. If visiting another school or studying abroad, the Office of Financial Aid cannot guarantee my loan proceeds
will be available to me before I leave for my program.
6. If I receive Summer Federal Work Study or other types of financial assistance, my summer financial aid may be
reduced and I may have a summer balance due to Suffolk University.
7. If I receive federal loans and I withdraw from a summer class after the class begins, the Office of Financial Aid
may be required to recalculate my federal loan eligibility. If I withdraw from my summer program once the
semester has begun, I will be assessed tuition liability as stated by the Office of the Bursar and my federal
loan eligibility will be recalculated in accordance with federal regulations. This could result in an outstanding
tuition balance owed to Suffolk University.
