depends on the course as to whether or not it is govt funded. Also keep in mind about how it will impact you over the next 12 months by not taking that break from study. You don't want to overdo it. Summer School courses are usually done over about 8 weeks in total and are more "intense" than other semesters which translates in to more work in less time. This is particularly the case for subjects that are offered during conventional semesters.

HTH and good luck with it!
