I am writing this letter to appeal my case of not being able to start school in September. In September 2015, I had a goal which was to keep my GPA at 3.0 or higher. My goal was very achievable at the beginning of the school year but things happen where a situation is beyond your control. This is what happened to me. My mom's father passed during the school year. When we first found out the news it didn't hit me that everything would change for me. Funerals are expensive and so is planning for one. My grandfather left my mom with no money, just his wife and other daughter. It amazed me how even family would treat you after all you have done for them. This is all besides the point, my mom was forced to pay for my grandfathers funeral and burial service since her stepmom wouldn't chip in. This financial affected me …show more content…
For this school year I spoke to my manager about cutting my hours to just working on the weekends and focusing on school full time. I've read the letter sent out saying I can't be full time, but I would really love to be. I want to be in school more than I want to work. I want to better myself. To fix the financial situation at home I've even moved to my dad's house to stay since the rent went up higher at my mom's house because I was over the age of 18.
When I am given the chance to be apart of the semester I will utilize the math and writing center as well as asking the teachers for help. I will keep up with my good attendance as well, so that I will be able to ask more questions. I would like for you to reconsider reinstating me into this semester,I don't want to look at my mom and see disappointment when she looks back. I really need this chance to make a difference and make my mom proud and I know I can do better when I have everything
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 lost my financial aid because my grades did not meet up to the Satisfactory Academic Progress that the school requires. What happened was, there were only two available options for the MATH 152 class during the Summer Quarter of 2015. I chose the night class because the morning class was taught by a teacher I didn't prefer. However, the night class was only two days a week for 3 hours straight. Because of my naivety, I assumed that I wouldn't have any problems with the set up. Around this time, however, was Ramadan, which suspended me from concentration within the class, heavily effecting my scores on tests. Besides this, my grandfather, whom I loved and cherished, had just passed away the month before, on May 17, 2015, requiring 40 days
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.
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
To whom it may concern, I am writing this letter to address the decision on my application for County Prep High School. I disagree on the decision for me to not get accepted and I would like to request a file review. The way I see County Prep High School, is that it’s not just a school. It’s an opportunity for me to achieve success in the real world, to accomplish my dreams. I strongly believe that this school is the perfect option for me.
I Makayla Elaine Bunbasi, have been academically suspended from Allegany College of Maryland. I have been suspended due to my academic status falling below the required minimum. I understand that it is important to do well in school and I am willing to put all my focus into my schooling to make sure I do whatever it takes to pass my classes. I know there shouldn’t be any reason for a student to fall behind in school but the past two and a half years of my life have been a struggle. When I was seventeen I made the choice to move to West Virginia to take care of my grandmother since my Pap worked out of town Monday-Friday. Over the past two years I have had to care for my grandmother on my own. Taking her to her appointments, surgeries, and the emergency room at times,
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
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 am ready to start over and focus on school like i know i can. This upcoming year will be totally different now that i know my family is ok and in stable condition, i can put all my focus into school like it was at first. If i am granted this appeal, this would be a huge blessing, not just for me but for my family. They won't have to worry about trying to put me through school i can do it on my own. If granted the appeal i would change my whole way of doing this as far as study hall and tutoring sessions. I'll make sure that this never happens again and make sure to stay focused on my goal of finishing school.
I just recently received notice that I am no longer eligible for the Hope Scholarship and I would like to appeal this decision. I honestly was not aware of the ramifications for dropping a class and putting my status as a student to part time. The reason I had to drop this class was due to my daughter being incarcerated into the Weakley County Detention Center. When this event happened it left me being the sole caretaker of her three minor children ranging from 8 months to 7 years of age. I work a full time job 5-6 days per week, and I also care for my own disabled child with Autism that has many health issues ranging from a heart defect to scoliosis. I knew there was not any way I could fully give this class what I needed to succeed and pass
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
All the measures that are mentioned in the textbook are important. However, there a few of these measures that are not as important compared to the others listed. One of these measures involve the school mail.
I would like to make the Admissions Committee aware of the circumstances surrounding my GPA. During my junior year of college, my father had become unknowingly ill, took a lot of medication and underwent several tests but the doctors were unable to diagnose him. He was no longer healthy enough to work and became unemployed. My mother was working more to support our family of five. My mom was struggling to pay for my college tuition all on her own and there were doubts if I would be able to continue to afford my attendance at Loyola University under these circumstances. I traveled six hours on the bus back home on some weekends to help my parents. During this time I worked more to support myself and help my family economically. Also, during this time my mother and biological father were in a lawsuit process about me.
It has been a long road over the past seventeen years, to get to where I am now. Choosing to go to school, you would have thought would have been a no-brainer. As a young adult I never really looked beyond the day I was in. I have been through many jobs in my life, I made it a career in changing careers. The jobs I took never felt like more than just a paycheck. Most of the jobs I had I would end up in a year or so hating going to work. I would literally dread going in or even thinking about having to work there. Then I found what I would call the "light going on" job where I felt different, I started working at the High school as a Substitute teacher. I came to the job because I was working as an LNA, I had changed my hours to only work on the weekends. The county changed their policies, I lost my insurance, so I went per diem. As an "on call" LNA I received no hours, I needed money and fast. Someone told me to be a sub at the school, no education needed and they are always looking for help. I worked a lot as a substitute, mostly for paraprofessionals in the high school. One of the case managers that I worked with a lot liked what she saw and encouraged me to go for the open position, I was interviewed before the interview if that makes any sense at all. I was working in the classroom with a "difficult" student, the director of special education just happen to be in the room that day observing the case manager. Well, I assume she liked what she saw as well, because when I
