Appeals for re-evaluation of income will be considered after you receive your initial award letter for the 2020-2021 aid year. Read the options
carefully and complete only those items applicable to your circumstances. After reviewing your re-evaluation of income documentation, your
aid package may remain the same or be increased based on the financial information that has been submitted. Submitting an appeal for re-evaluation
of income does not guarantee an adjustment will be made to your aid package. Decisions are final and will be communicated directly to the student
via their FRC e-mail.
Notice: Re-Evaluation of income appeals are not reviewed prior to the fourth week of the semester in which the
appeal is submitted. Processing of appeals typically take two to four weeks and may be longer at peak times.
Formula for Calculating Financial Need: Cost of Attendance – Expected Family Contribution = Need (COA – EFC = NEED)
