Appealing Your Child's Financial Aid

Why appeal Your Child's Financial Aid?

There are several reasons why you might want to appeal your child's financial aid package:

1. Your child's financial situation has changed:

If you or your family have experienced a change in income or financial

circumstances since you filed your child's financial aid application, you might be

eligible for more aid.

2. Your child received a better offer from another school:

If your child received a more generous financial aid package from another school,

You may be able to use that offer to negotiate for more aid from your preferred

school.

3. You have special circumstances:

If you have any special circumstances that were not taken into account in your original financial aid package, such as high medical expenses or caring for a dependent, you may be able to appeal for more aid.

4. You believe there was an error:

If you think there was an error in your child's financial aid package, such as incorrect information on your FAFSA, you can appeal to have it corrected.

What is Financial Aid Verification?

Financial Aid Verification is a process schools use to confirm the accuracy of the data provided on your child's Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). It often involves submitting additional documents and can be time-consuming and confusing.

Let's dive into the key steps to building your child's plan:
