Does applying for summer financial aid give u more money or...

<p>okay let me explain.
i am considering taking summer classes, since i applied for financial aid in the fall semester, i would have to fill out an enrollment plan for getting FA for the summer.
but would they give me more money (if i do get any) aside from the Fa package i already have, or would they take some of my financial aid package from the fall/spring semester to use it in the summer.
does that make sense?</p>

<p>For most schools, there is no special pool of money for summer classes. It’s generally loans and whatever other state/federal grants like Pell that would be awarded for the academic year. Whether that would reduce your FA for the following fall/spring depends on whether your school uses a summer header (summer is the first semester of the academic year) or trailer (summer is part of the previous academic year). For a header school, it’s likely that any FA you take advantage of would reduce your awards for fall and spring.</p>
