Students Attending Summer (E Term)
E Term Tuition and Financial Aid
Funding for E Term is limited to Federal Direct Loans for students, the Federal Direct PLUS Loan for parents, private loans, and/or a Global Scholarship, if eligible. WPI does not offer grants, need-based scholarships, merit-based scholarships, or institutional loans for E term. The Subsidized/Unsubsidized Federal Direct loans have annual limits that cannot be exceeded. You must not have borrowed the full amount of the Subsidized/Unsubsidized Federal Direct loans during the A23 – D24 academic period. If a student borrowed the full amount of their eligibility during the fall and spring semesters, they will not be eligible to borrow additional federal funding, except the PLUS loan, for the summer (E24) academic period.
You must be enrolled in at least 6 credits to receive Federal Direct Loans, PLUS loans, or a Federal Pell Grant for E term.
To apply for any type of loan for E-Term, please complete and submit the Summer Application for Student Loans, found below.
If you are considering the Federal Direct Loan or the Federal PLUS loan, you need to complete your 2023-2024 FAFSA if you do not already have one on file.
Once we've received these documents your application will be reviewed, and if you are borrowing through the Federal Direct Loan program you will be notified of your loan eligibility by an email to your WPI email address. Federal PLUS loans and private loans will be certified and posted to your WPI account.
