CHANGES IN YOUR FINANCIAL SITUATION
If your financial circumstances change after you file your FAFSA, you can apply for emergency funds. Fill out a Rocket Aid application. The UToledo team will work with you to identify options to assist you. This includes funding available through federal relief programs and donors.
- Rocket Aid is an emergency financial assistance fund available to those experiencing financial hardship.
SUMMER FINANCIAL AID
If you need financial aid for the summer term, you need to fill out a summer aid application.
You must have a FAFSA on file to receive federal or state aid. The summer term is officially the beginning of the new academic year. So if you filed a FAFSA to receive aid for the upcoming academic year, you don’t need to file again.
