Summer Pell Grant
To be eligible to receive a Summer 2008 Pell Grant, you must meet all of
the following criteria:
-
You must have a completed financial aid file for the 2007-2008
school year at City College.
-
You must not be Disqualified based on the Financial Aid Standards of
Satisfactory Academic Progress.
-
You qualify for a 2007-2008 Federal Pell Grant and you have a
remaining balance available from your Pell Grant award.
-
You must enroll in and maintain enrollment in at least one class for
the Summer 2008 term at City College. Classes taken at ECC, Mesa and
Miramar Colleges will be counted towards your total enrollment as
long as you have one class at City College. Classes taken
at colleges outside of our District will not be counted.
-
You must enroll in all of your summer classes for all summer
sessions up front by June
30, 2008

to be considered for your maximum Pell Grant eligibility.
**You will not qualify for a Summer Pell Grant if you do not enroll
in any classes at City College**
For the Summer 2008 term, the enrollment status for Financial Aid
purposes will be different than the college enrollment status.
The enrollment statuses are calculated as follows:
STATUS ENROLLMENT
Full-time 9 or more units
3/4-time 7 to 8.5 units
1/2-time 5 to 6.5 units
Less than
½
0.5 to 4.5
units
Important Reminder: Your actual amount may fluctuate depending on
your EFC, your remaining Pell Grant eligibility, your summer enrollment
status and your program. Changes in your enrollment status will result
in a change of your Summer Pell Grant award. **There is a 2 – 3 day
turnaround time for changes to your Pell award for the summer to be
effective.**
Depending on your eligibility, a portion of your Summer Pell Grant will
be available for use at the San Diego Community College District
Bookstores. The maximum amount that will be available at the Bookstore
will be $350.
The Bookstore process will be available from May 27, 2008 to June 26,
2008. The balance of your Summer Pell Grant, if any, will be disbursed
by check based on your enrollment status as of June
30, 2008.
Checks will be mailed on July
7, 2008 or will be available for pick up at the A.S. Cashier on
July
9, 2008. If your check is scheduled for pick up, you will have two
weeks to pick it up before it is canceled.
Classes added after June
30, 2008 will
not be counted towards your Summer Pell Grant eligibility. If you drop
or withdraw from all of your summer classes, you may have to repay funds
received based on the date you dropped or withdrew from classes. You
will be notified by mail if you are required to repay any funds.
