Financial Aid Sap Appeal

I’m writing to you, in hopes to appeal my academic dismissal of the nursing program at Adelphi University. I am aware that my grades are lower than required, and I take full responsibility for being on academic probation. I was surprised when I got the news that I have been dismissed from the nursing program because I did not receive any form of notification of dismissal from the University earlier. I was informed by my guidance counselor prior to the start of spring semester that I would say in the program as long as I did not obtain a lower GPA than I had. As a result of my GPA increasing I was surprised to receive the news of my dismissal. Despite this I believe that I did not handle my situation correctly and should have maintained sufficient grades to avoid academic probation. As stated before I recognize and

I am writing to make an appeal following a recent rejection from your university. I applied Early Action as a Psychology major in October and was rejected late January. I have included updated transcripts and kindly ask you to review my application again.

I am writing to appeal my academic dismissal from NOVA Southeastern University. I was not surprised, but very upset to receive a notice of my dismissal. I sat out for a year and would like to be accepted for the upcoming semester. I admit, I had a very difficult time during my last semester and as a result my grades suffered. I don't mean to make excuses for my poor academic performance and I understand it’s my fault, but I would like to explain the circumstances as well as my great interest in the program.

I am writing to you in the hopes to appeal the decision of my academic suspension. When I received the news of my suspension I was deeply saddened, but understood completely the circumstances under which the decision was made. My low GPA failed to meet the requirements of the University to remain an active student on campus, which as a result led to my temporary dismissal. In the beginning of my freshman year, I was very excited about coming to Howard University because I had fell in love with the school. Into my first year I took on 18 credit hours convinced that college would be similar to high school. My first semester felt extremely overwhelming, I thought that I could handle my classes, and I convinced myself that I did not need help but I had only proved by the end of that semester that I was wrong. I did not know how to study well, and I could rely on my “smarts” to get me through classes that were rigorous. I enrolled myself without counseling into Spanish 2, calculus 1, and Freshman composition and I struggled the entire way, my pride just would not let me admitted that I needed help. So I lied to myself, I told myself that it would get better or maybe just go away. It did not and after failing my final exams I would be faced with the damage I had done to my, academic career.

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.

Where a regular student can afford to block off time days or weeks in advance for study or extracurricular activity I have found that flexibility is my strongest tool. There have been nights I have found myself studying for an impending test while pacing my kitchen with a crying baby in one arm and a text book in the other. Any reading assignment I can manage to listen to through audiobook is absolutely a God send, as I can complete it in the car or while packing lunches. I work two jobs on top of everything else. This semester has been my favorite in terms of schedule synchronicity. Everything is flowing in an orderly manner, I go straight from school to work taking time to study during my breaks.

I didn't have an idea of the financial aid requirements entailed till it was too late. Freshmen and sophomore year were a year of trials and tribulations. Completing approximately 12 out of 38 credits mostly due to the fact I was moving my schedule around to fit my schedule and losing multiple family members and getting diagnosed with ADHD and depression by the DRES department, I had so much to deal with that I found myself struggling. I wasn't able to redeem myself after I got my warning because even though I completed all that I registered for, I would still get my financial aid suspended. I have had to appeal ever since I got my warning because of extenuating circumstances such as deaths in the family and disabilities and other times because I had to because even though I complete every class I attempted for the previous semesters excluding fall 2015, I won't make the completion rate because I dropped so many classes freshmen year first semester.

With this letter to you, I urge you to please hear me out and help me. I do not have the money to attend UCONN because of my family’s financial situation. The aid I received was a blessing and gave me the opportunity to follow my dreams and make my parents proud. It was the main driving factor for me going to UCONN as I pay for school myself. I had worked all summer and had planned to take whatever the difference was once financial aid was factored in and pay for it with my hard earned money, but now I will not be able to do that because of a miscommunication with my father and my mental illness. If I am granted financial aid, I will do whatever it takes to overcome

Although I respect the decision of my rejection to the university, I am presenting you with this appeal in hopes of your reconsideration of my application.

I just want to start off by saying that this is a difficult stepback for me to accept, due to my determination to be the best student that I can possibly be during my academic career. Therefore, when getting the notice that I was on Financial Aid Warning, I felt heartache of disappointment in myself for allowing this to happen near my senior year of attending this university. With that being said, I plan to really take the necessary actions for you all to understand that this is not normal behavior from me and that I will seek the necessary assistance to be successful.

I am writing to you to appeal the Financial Aid Status I am currently placed under. Although you may not know me, if you look back at my grade history, this is not the student I am. I am a student who strives to work hard, and to do the ultimate best of my abilities. I usually beat myself up over homework and test grades. Throughout my career at Minot State University, my GPA never fell below a 3.70, I have been on the Dean’s/President’s Honor Roll since Fall of 2015. The only problem semester I have had previously was my first semester as a Freshman, and that was all about how I adjusted to college. After that first semester; I have only strived to reach my goals, and have worked tremendously

The initial shock of the significant workload and expectations can take their toll, but good time management skills can prevent multiple late nights in a row to get assignments done on time. Kelci Lynn Lucier has worked in higher education for ten years, and has experienced students struggle to try and find the balance between extracurricular activities, personal activities, and education priorities. Luckily, Lucier has four tips to help best use the time provided in a day. Lucier’s first step focuses on managing ones academic time and how it needs to be the top priority above all other curricular activities, stating: “It's important to remind yourself why you're in college in the first place: to graduate” (Lucier). Lucier’s second step is be able to manage personal time, she talks about how unrealistic it is to always be working, studying, or learning, she wants students to try and find time to do something fun with friends or a club. Lucier’s third step is to wkeep the students health in mind, it does no good to stay up until two in the morning studying over a history mid-term, only to be half asleep for the test anyway; sleep is important and without can only increase the stress. Lucier’s fourth and final step is to not be afraid to seek help with your time management, she states: “The most important thing to have for time

I am writing to request an appeal of my current dismissal status at Argosy University. I am enrolled in the Associate of Arts in Psychology degree program and I have failed the course English 101- Composition 1, due to a substance abuse problem that I have addressed by joining a program. Up until my first attempt with English 101- Composition 1, my grade point average was a 4.0. I was proud of myself being that it was my first time to ever make it on the President's List. I had so much satisfaction because not only I am doing something that I loved and enjoyed, but over the first few courses, I was able to recognize the knowledge that I have gained and use it in real life situations.

I am writing to request consideration for an appeal of my financial aid award package for the fall semester 2015. The reason why I have not maintained satisfactory academic progress is because my home life has been been stressful and chaotic at times. I live with my mom it is just the both of us. I have been through traumatic moments with my mom’s mental illness and substance abuse. My mom has been diagnosed with bipolar manic depressive and dealing with medication addiction during the semesters I have been a student at BCC on and off since 2009.

I contemplated taking a semester off to have my child and reprioritize my life. However, after speaking my faculty mentor, I received the encouragement I needed to pushed forward and complete my degree. Sadly, I made the ultimate decision to postpone my journey to medical school to care for my family. After graduation, I decided to join the workforce to support my family. As a recent college graduate, I experienced difficulties obtaining employment and this was very discouraging, especially since I was caring for two young individuals. Eventually, I obtained a full-time position at a local community college and have been there for about six years educating minds to achieve their educational
