Our Best Answer - How do I appeal my financial aid?

Financial Aid Appeal

The financial aid application doesn’t always tell the whole story, and for that reason, Congress has granted Financial Aid Administrators the authority to evaluate special circumstances on a case-by-case basis. Students must provide adequate documentation to show why their circumstances warrant special treatment. To that end, our Office has developed several Appeals to provide a common means for students to report their circumstances.
