This means that when these students enroll for the Fall 2026 term, the aid they received during the non-enrollment period will be factored into their estimated financial assistance.• If the student is enrolled in any other summer coursework:The funding received for the internship will count as EFA for their summer term. In this case, if the students take summer courses along with the internship, the aid received during this period will be considered part of their estimated financial aid for the summer term.
