Farewell to Summer Aid

The 2010 summer session will no longer provide students with the opportunity of financial aid.
This means that if students are interested in attending summer school it will have to be self-supported. This is just another change due to the recent budget cuts.
Some students like Suzanne Pinn who is a junior criminal justice major, says that she is going to think twice about attending summer school because she is one of the many students at CSULB who depend on financial aid.
"I can't afford to take out a loan so I don't think I'll be attending summer school," she said.
In addition to elimination of financial aid for the summer session, according to a story on the Daily 49er the fees per unit will also increase. Fees will from from $217 from last summer to $250 per unit.
Aaron Mindiola a sophomore communications major said that "its already bad that they are taking financial aid away and now they also increase fees which will make it that much harder for students who really need summer school."
