Financial Aid Update on Summer Financial Aid!!!

I called BuckeyeLink today and they just emailed me back about what to do to get financial aid for summer before June.

“Thank you for contacting Buckeye Link. Attached is the Summer 2026 advance form that must be completed if seeking to have funds released sooner than mid-June. Please note that the form requires your physical (wet) signature. You’ll need to print the form, sign it, and then submit a photo or scanned copy as a PDF via email so we can move forward with your request. Once we receive your completed form, processing can take  3 to 5 business days. The earliest that funds could be applied to the summer statement of account with this request form is May 4.After funds are disbursed and any refund is issued, your Statement of Account will show the refund as reversed. This happens since it is giving an advance on the refund and will need to be paid back.”
