  • Financial Aid

    For financial aid processing, the Winter Session is an intersession that is treated as part of the fall term. Therefore, when determining financial aid eligibility, hours taken in the intersession count toward a student’s enrollment status for the fall term, and costs for the intersession will be included in the cost of attendance (COA) for the fall term.

    If you are planning to or have already registered for the Winter Session, it is recommended you contact a financial aid counselor at UofL to determine your potential financial aid options prior to the start of the Winter Session. Please note if you are a student enrolled as visiting students at UofL, you are not eligible to process financial aid at UofL; please contact your home school to discuss potential financial aid options.

    Federal Financial Aid – If you have not done so already, please complete the 2022-2023 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and ensure UofL is listed as a school choice (UofL’s school code: 001999). For additional information, please visit the Student Financial Aid Office’s website. To determine if you have any federal aid eligibility remaining for enrollment in the Winter Session, please contact UofL’s Student Financial Aid Office.

    Scholarships - Please check with your Department for which you are enrolled regarding potential scholarship availability. Please note UofL admission-based scholarships, including Trustees, Porter, and National Scholars funds, cannot be used during the Winter Session, per the terms of condition of the applicable scholarship program.

    Private/Alternative Educational Loans – For information on private/alternative educational loans, please visit the Student Financial Aid Office’s website. If you plan to use private/alternative educational loan funds to help cover expenses for enrollment in the Winter Session, please contact a financial aid counselor at UofL as soon as you enroll or know you will be enrolling in the Winter Session.

    KRS tuition waiver - Students with KRS documentation on file associated with veterans, police officers, firefighters, state employees, supervising or resource teachers, and foster or adopted children will be automatically awarded tuition benefits if standard eligibility conditions are met.

    Kentucky State Aid (CAP Grant and KEES Scholarship) - If you are a Kentucky CAP Grant and/or KEES Scholarship recipient and did receive a full-time award during the fall term based on your fall enrollment (excluding Winter Session hours), you may be eligible for additional funds based on your enrollment in the Winter Session. Please contact a financial aid counselor at UofL to determine if you have any remaining state aid eligibility.

    For information regarding financial aid, please contact UofL’s office (http://louisville.edu/financialaid) at 502.852.5511 or finaid@louisville.edu. Students who need to speak with a financial aid counselor about aid for winter session must contact the office prior to 12/15.
