Special Circumstance Appeal Form
2017-2018
The University of Dayton strives to offer our families the best financial aid packages possible within the limitations of federal, state and
university funding levels. We understand that the FAFSA does not always capture the current financial snapshot of your household and
that certain circumstances may present your family with unique financial challenges. By completing this form, we will be able to
determine if these factors have any effect on your 2017-2018 expected family contribution (EFC), which in turn affects your need.
Please complete this form in its entirety. Please provide documentation which supports your reason for your appeal and include the student’s
name and student ID number on all documents to insure proper identification. In addition, we must have the results of your 2017-2018 Free
Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) on file in order to review this form. This can be filed online at http://www.fafsa.gov. If your
FAFSA is selected for federal verification, you must complete that process before your special circumstance appeal form can be reviewed.
Your appeal will be evaluated by the Financial Aid staff within a timely manner based on the volume received. Please allow up to four (4)
weeks for review during peak processing (February through June). For your convenience, you can email, mail or fax the documentation
to us. If you need assistance in completing this form, please contact us.
