A limited amount of financial aid is available to students who are enrolled for Summer 2024 in TSGB Summer Sea Term, International Experience, Commercial Cruise or Co-Op. Students must be enrolled in at least 6 units to maximize most Summer 2024 financial aid.

Financial aid disbursements cannot be made until a total of 6 units of courses have begun. For example, if a student enrolls in 3 units for the 8 week 1 session and another 3 units for the second 8 week 2 session, financial aid will not be disbursed until the second 8 week 2 session has begun.
