Financial Aid Appeal Form

I am writing this appeal letter to inform you of the circumstances that have held me back from being the best student that I can be, over the last two terms. The my first term at AIU was in the spring of 2015. I began the term off doing well, I was achieving A’s and B’s. Then after achieving such great grades my luck turned for the worst. I became ill and then shortly after the fact my father became very ill.

Besides graduating from college, being accepted into the Counseling program at NOVA Southeastern University was the greatest day of my life. I was on my way to a much greater success by working on my Master. Paying for college out of pocket was a struggle, but I understand that success comes with great sacrifices. However, I wouldn’t really call paying out of pocket for school a sacrifice, but rather an investment in my future and my family. My first semester went marvelous. I was motivated and enthusiastic about the courses. I must admit graduate school is much harder than I imagine, but I manage to make time for studying and ended making A’s in both of my classes, which I didn’t expect less than that. When the summer semester I arrived, I was as excited and motivated as my very first semester, aiming to make nothing less than an A grades. However, unexpectedly my world seemed to have turned upside down in a matter of time. My mother and I decided to take a week to go

Now for my appeal. There were a couple of factors that contributed to my late FAFSA application. I entrusted my father to help me through the process of completing FAFSA but due to complications with my mental health and household problems, I was unable to complete

In the Fall quarter of 2014 at pierce I was still being introduced to this style of learning and the school setting of Pierce College which was a pretty big turnaround for me seeing as my only previous schooling had been public high school. Along with my unfamiliarness with my academic surroundings I was also beginning my first job and had weekly meetings with a counselor.Needless to say, i put too much on my own plate and wasn't able to keep up with it as much as i had hoped to. I had been visiting a counselor to get help on some issues i had been facing with an Anxiety disorder along with issues in my home life ,which had been keeping me from focusing on many tasks. The anxiety was a major issue for me during fall and winter quarter but has since then improved and taken a back seat and is much less of an issue now. I know that none of these are an excuse for my poor grades but it was a heavy influence on how i handled

From writing this appeal I plea for a readmission for the upcoming 2016 spring semester to the University of Houston Downtown. The report of my suspension for a low GPA from this college has bought my total attention to understand that my education is not joke. I know it was because I saw my education as need than a want in my life. I know that I was immature from my past college experience furthermore, I was not able to obtain my education in a proper manner. This reality call for lacking on my GPA has opened my eyes to see I am nothing without knowledge. Moreover, I have embrace my failure by seeing that I did not grasp the opportunity in front of me with the best of my being. Now, that this flaw in my part has been unsealed; I have acknowledge the true priorities for myself and my future. I

As soon as I stepped into school of junior year the only words I heard were college and SAT. After my first meeting with college guidance I began questioning my success. My average was about a 70 and that was not getting me into college. For the past two years I was focusing on clubs and commissions and now my grades began to hit me. I knew I had to get to work as soon as possible. I began by putting more time and effort into my schoolwork and putting a break on my commissions, school was my new focus. After my long and tiring 10 hour days of school I would only come back to study for more hours till I felt I knew my stuff at the top of my head. I began to appreciate learning new things and being a studios student. I began to connect to some of my classes and grew a passion for them advanced studio art, nutrition, and English. I became confident with my school work and was able to join new commissions and balance my school work with my commissions. Choices commission was my favorite,helping my peers make the right choices in their lives. It was the same in senior year I was taking Ap psychology and it wasn't the easiest class but it was something I enjoyed and I loved being challenged by some of it. After fall semester of senior year my average was an 83.286 about 15 points higher than my fall semester in freshmen year which was a 68.17. I was thrilled, I felt accomplished, this was a new peak of success for

Growing up in poverty meant always being in a pinch for money. This led me to my decision of seeking a job within the first month of my freshman year in high school. Thankfully, this decision led me to the precious self-taught skill of time management. I was able to build my skills until my sophomore year. I tried to take on more shifts at work than I could handle, in aspiration of saving up for a car, and consequently my grades began to slip. I acquired my first C in my favorite class: Chemistry. Being an aspiring student in the medical field, and a student who prides themselves on their grades, I was devastated. As a result, I soon reached the epiphany that one has to have priorities in life; I chose mine to be education. I discussed with my boss my situation and she gave me a set schedule of a doable 4 days a week. This allowed me to do my homework and studying in advance. This also permitted me to get enough sleep,

I am writing to appeal for my reinstatement to the institution for the Fall of 2015 semester. I was not surprised due to my previous performance, but very upset to receive a letter informing me of my dismissal. I would like to urge you to reinstate me for next semester for the following reasons that I beginning to overcome and prepare to have a more improved outcome as a student.

This is an appeals letter for the University Academic Appeals Committee. This is a letter of appeal for the summer Counseling Art Therapy Class with Phyllis Nodler. This was a hybrid class so I had been doing the pre- class work. As for class I was un- able to attend for medical reasons. I was sick starting in May and was in the E.R. on the 20th. I continued to have fevers and be ill and one of my doctors sent me back to the Boise E.R. on June 3rd. I had a spinal tap that day and was released. I continued to have fevers and was still ill, so I went back to the E.R. in Mountain Home on June 7th. They told me the spinal tap I had done showed Meningitis and I should have never been released; I was admitted. After that I was ambulanced to the

I am writing to you regarding the financial aid package that I received for DePaul. Although I am very grateful for the $13,000 grant that I have received, I am wondering if a reevaluation on my financial aid is possible. Last year, I attended Aurora University. I had no intention of transferring to a different school because Aurora’s financial aid covers all of my tuition, but when I visited DePaul that changed. I went to DePaul a few months ago, with my cousin, because he was graduating from high school and had to pick between a couple of schools and wanted my opinion. After the visit, he was not the only one that was sure that DePaul was the place for him. I became excited about everything that DePaul has to offer and wanted to be a part of a school that’s main goal is preparing their students for their careers and success.

I would like to start off this letter of appeal by thanking you for the opportunity to explain my past mistakes and outline my plans for improvement in upcoming semesters.

I’m definitely not the best student in the world, but I sure am one of the hardest working students I know. It was very easy to find me because I was always either at work, school, home, taking care of my grandma, or babysitting. I definitely had my head screwed on tight. I do believe that because I was/am taking care of so many people and trying to help my parents out financially, my grades have slipped quicker than I anticipated. I took on two study halls my junior year, and am taking on two study halls my senior year also. This definitely dropped my grade point average but I don’t regret it. I spend my study halls tutoring the students at my school. I specifically tutor for the Writing center and when I’m not tutoring for that, I’m helping
