Financial Aid Appeal
Appeal a financial aid decision with changed circumstances or new information.
Financial aid offices can adjust awards when circumstances change, but only if you document the change and connect it to the aid formula.
Financial aid appeals can adjust your aid package when circumstances change — job loss, medical expenses, or family changes. A strong appeal documents the change and connects it to the aid formula.
Who this is for: Students and families appealing a financial aid award or denial.
