Why is my financial aide advisor so strict on me and how can I get my aide back?
Question:
This is my 2nd appeal within a year and this is whats happened.. my dad was in the hospital for months and wasn't expected to recover, my grandfather died, I moved 3 times, my cat died after a litter of 6 kittens, diagnosed w/epilepsy, I had mono for a month and that's basically it.
She said to take 6 hours this summer (I only took 3 and got a B) and she would reconsider it. My dad is just now recovering and we were not able to pay for the other class. I wrote out an appeal and told her I am taking Cleps and Dantes (a test taken for college credit on different subjects). This would help my ratio of completed hours.
What else and why is this happening?
Answer:
Can you document everything that you have mentioned above?
If so, you have a strong chance of winning your appeal - unless your grades are bad.
Many financial aid awards have good grades as a condition of receiving additional aid. If your grades suffered because all that has happened, then the financial aid advisor may conclude that you're better off at a less expensive insitution.
