UNAPPEALING AWARD LETTERS CAN BE APPEALED
Unappealing award letters can be appealed under the following circumstances:
- Your school has a history of meeting financial need and you have substantial unmet need
- You asked for a Federal Work-Study Award (you did, didn’t you) and it was absent from your award package
- You didn’t get a maximum Stafford Loan: 5,500; 6,500; 7,500; 7,500
- Your parent’s income and assets in 2009 are or will be substantially less than in 2010 – it’s time to ask for Professional Judgment
- You rec’d a Pell Grant, but no ACG/SMART, SEOG or Perkins Loan
- Your parents recently separated or divorced and there’s a considerable difference between their income and assets – time to employ the ambiguous non-custodial parent strategy
- Etc., etc., etc…
In the 31 years that I’ve been in financial aid trench warfare, I’ve appealed 1,000’s of awards – with much success. As time is of the essence, why not contact me for a free consultation to discuss your situation.
BEST OF LUCK TO ALL IN THE PURSUIT OF HIGHER EDUCATION!
