How to Apply for Summer Aid:
- Register for summer courses.
- Complete the 2026-2027 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). School code is 002857. If applying for NYS aid, apply on the HESC website.
-
Pell Grants: By registering for summer classes, submitting the FAFSA, and completing all outstanding requirements in Bronco Web, eligible students will be considered for the Federal Pell Grant (no additional application is needed).
- Request a Summer Student Loan (if needed): This form is expected to be available in May 2026 pending updates to student loan
eligibility from the Department of Education.
-
- First-Time Users: Create an account on the Student Forms Portal by using your SUNY Delhi student email. Enter your name and any other requested information exactly as it appears on your FAFSA.
- Log in: Once an account has been created, log in using your SUNY Delhi Single Sign-On (SSO) credentials at the Student Forms Portal.
- Once logged in, click on 'Manage Request' and select the 'Summer Student Loan Request' form.
- If you requested loans and are eligible to borrow, you’ll receive an email when they are ready for you to accept (or decline) in Bronco Web . Summer loans may not appear as a credit on your bill until June 2026.
-
📅Next Steps:
- Monitor your Bronco Web and Delhi email account regularly for updates.
- If you have any remaining financial aid tasks, complete them as soon as possible as some of them may be required before we can determine your summer aid, including student loans and/or the Pell Grant. Log into Bronco Web regularly to view any outstanding tasks.
- Visit the Summer Policies & Requirements web page for more information about billing, withdrawing, textbooks, and other related information.
- Plan ahead for expenses: Books, supplies, and living costs may come up before your
aid is available. Summer aid refunds are not issued until after the summer term begins.
How Summer Courses May Impact Your Aid Eligibility:
Taking summer courses can impact your future aid eligibility (even if you don't receive aid in the summer). Additionally, dropping or withdrawing from summer courses can impact your current and future aid eligibility.
- Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP): After final grades are submitted the end of each semester (including Summer), we review your SAP standing. Failure to meet the minimum federal and/or state aid requirement, may result in your becoming ineligible for the next semester.
- Annual and Aggregate Limits: Federal and state aid that is used in the summer will reduce the amount of aid you can use each academic year and reduce the total amount of aid you can use while in school.
-
Changes to your summer schedule may affect your aid: If you drop a course or withdraw from the summer term, your current or future financial aid eligibility may change.
