December Term 

December Term (D-Term) is an optional two-week session of academic enrichment during the break between fall and winter terms. Find out more information on D-Term fees here.

Financial Aid for D-Term

Beginning with the 2019 December Term, need-based grant funding will be available to degree-seeking students. December Term grant funding will be applied to tuition only, and will range from $250 to $1,000.

To be eligible for a need-based grant, you must be a degree-seeking student enrolled in a December Term course. Additionally, grant eligibility will be based on your FAFSA for the current academic year, and the amount will be determined by the Financial Aid Office. For students who are not eligible for Federal Student Aid, eligibility will be based on I-20 documentation or completion of the CSS Profile Application. 

To inquire about your eligibility for December Term grant funding, contact the Financial Aid Office at financial.aid@lawrence.edu or 920-832-6583.

Loans (federal and/or private) can also apply to December Term. Contact the Financial Aid Office for more information.
