Student Assembly - Resolution 33 (2020-2021)

Winter/Summer Term Financial Aid

• Term:
  2020-2021
• Assembly:
  Student Assembly
• Status: Acknowledged by the President
• Abstract: This resolution recommends that Cornell grant-based aid is expanded to include both summer and winter session enrollment. Currently, grant-based financial aid is only available for fall/spring terms. In the summer/winter terms, students only have aid in the form of work or loans. This resolution would benefit low income students, especially in light of COVID-19, who may have had to drop courses in light of personal hardships, and students who may be behind on credits necessary to graduate on time. We are requesting this adjustment to the financial aid policy be permanently implemented.
