What if I do a co-op?

If a student is doing a co-op/internship and will be enrolled in less than 12 credits during that semester, he/she must come to the Student Financial Services Office to see how their financial aid may change due to differences in tuition charges and credits. If a student is enrolled in at least 12 credits during the co-op/internship semester, their financial aid will not change.
Below is the financial aid which can be used during a co-op/internship:

• Federal Direct Subsidized and Unsubsidized loans
• Federal Pell Grant – Pro-rated for number of credits during co-op semester
• Federal Perkins Loan
• Federal Direct PLUS Loan
• PHEAA Grant (must enroll for at least 6 credits to receive a part-time PHEAA grant)

If a student has an outside scholarship, they must get written permission from the organization to use it while attending their co-op/internship.
If the student is enrolled for less than 12 credits during the co-op/internship semester, La Salle University grants and scholarships cannot be used.
If the student will be enrolling in summer classes immediately after the co-op/internship and was ineligible for La Salle funds during the co-op/internship semester, then the student could be eligible for a prorated amount of La Salle financial aid during the summer. The student may be part-time during the summer to be eligible for these awards. If the student elects to use a La Salle scholarship during the summer following the co-op/internship, then the summer would count as a semester towards the 8-semester limit that apply to some La Salle scholarships. Funding for the summer is subject to availability of funds.
Please see your financial aid counselor if you have any questions regarding your financial aid and co-ops and/or internships

Students participating in a co-op/internship must be enrolled for at least 6 credits in order to be eligible for Federal Direct loans.
