Appealing Financial Aid

Why appeal financial aid?

There are several reasons why you might want

to appeal your financial aid package:

1. Your financial situation has changed: If

you or your family have experienced a

change in income or financial

circumstances since you filed your

financial aid application, you may be

eligible for more aid.

2. You received a better offer from another

school: If you've 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 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 the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). It often involves submitting additional documents and can be time-consuming and confusing.
