situation. You’re not alone!

Don’t forget to list our FAFSA Code:

We will carefully review your circumstances within 10 business days. When the appeal has been reviewed, we will send

a communication to your eServices account describing the results.

Here’s a link to our appeal form.

The number one thing to keep in mind if your family experiences a change in financial situation is to contact your

college’s financial aid office. They’ll know just what to do and will help you in every way they can.

We have reviewed many appeals within our family of students, and we understand a loss of income may be causing you

anxiety. We are here to guide you through the process. Please call us at (804) 123-5678 or contact your financial

counselor.

Here’s how we handle special circumstances.
