Summer ACE

Cost & Financial Aid

A group of USF Summer Ace students kayaking together for a class.

Summer ACE is excited to share updates with you as the program takes shape for Summer 2022.  


Financial Aid is available for ACE. Students who want to apply for aid during ACE will need to fill out the 2021-2022 FAFSA (for summer aid) in addition to the 2022-2023 FAFSA (for fall/spring). You can find more details about completing the FAFSA and financial aid at USF here. If you have questions about your financial aid eligibility, please find ways to contact the Financial Aid Office here.

The goal of the Summer ACE program is to provide meanginful experiences for students at minimal cost. The ACE program tuition and fees cover the cost of tuition, fees, student life/activity fees, and other aspects of the ACE program. Below we have included the cost for a traditional summer student for comparison purposes. 

Please note that there is a standard program fee for ACE regardless of residency status. 

For students applying Florida PrePaid to Summer ACE, see this chart to determine the estimated amount covered for the six (6) required Summer ACE credits.
