I understand that SURGE stipends are currently paid through the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships. Students who are near or at their financial aid ceiling (up to budget) may not take summer classes if they want to receive full payment for participation in the SURGE program. Accepting summer stipends may decrease the amount of aid you are offered in the subsequent school year. Please contact OneStop to discuss your individual situation. I understand that due to COVID-19 this program may move to a virtual platform and that some projects may be cancelled.
