Zachary Little Scholarship Case Study

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.

Yes, there was a unilateral contract between GSU and Paul. For a basic contract to occur, a party has to make an offer (offeror) and another part has to accept the offer (offeree). GSU, the offeror, was giving out a scholarship and Paul, the offeree, accepted.

Explain the unforeseen and serious in nature barriers and/or problems that caused the lack of Satisfactory Academic Progress. Supporting documentation to substantiate the circumstances identified within your appeal should also be submitted if applicable.

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 petitioning to have my AP credit reinstated, with the subsequent removal of my Math 081 grade removed or reverted to a “W”. Before I came to Lehigh I was required to send in my AP credit in order to check if I met any of the requirements to move ahead in any of the classes and since I had passed the AP Calc exam with a 4 I had intended to move forward. Upon my first day of classes I was notified that I had to take MATH 021 for my major which at the time was CSE but I had intended to switch to CBE. When I was sent to the Advising Business office in order to formulate a schedule for my intended track in CBE an advisor placed me in MATH 081 in order to fulfill the requirement. I inquired why I was required to take a math class recalling

Thank you in advance for taking the time to review my letter of appeal the $5,080 financial aid Joseph Masri received for the upcoming school year. Though your offer was more than gracious, it is not sufficient for our financial needs. Included in this appeal is additional information that may not have been accounted for in the original application.

I'm filing this appeal due to my financial aid being discontinued because I failed to meet the SAP requirements during the fall semester 2015. Fall semester 2015 was my second semester attending WKU. I strongly believe l that me dealing with depression and anxiety prevented me from meeting the Satisfactory Academic Progress that was required. Without financial aid I will not be able to attend WKU because my income will not allow me to pay for courses out of pocket.

I am distressed by the decision that you have formed through the review of my application process, but as I went through Central Medical Magnet High School I have experienced many losses and accomplishments. For 4 years, I have academically excelled in all of my classes whether they were Regulars, Pre-Advancement Placements, Advanced Placements, and College courses from Lamar University. But even with passing these courses, I have managed to use my free time volunteering and giving back to the community that I matured in rather than just focus heavily on academics alone. Even during school, I am obligated to carry out my role to make my community an improved field by tutoring my peers in all of my classes and courses I have taken in the past,

All students must maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) in order to retain aid eligibility as directed by the U.S. Department of Education. SAP is monitored at the end of each applicable term. Students who have lost their eligibility for certain types of financial aid have the option to submit an appeal to have their aid reinstated. To appeal the loss of financial aid, students are required to first submit a written appeal. All financial aid appeals will be reviewed by committee. Throughout the Fall Semester, I served on the FA committee at the Carroll Campus. As a members of the Appeals Committee, I reviewed the entire academic and appeal history, not just the most recent semester. Additionally, I reviewed supporting documentation

I’m writing a retroactive appeal because I was unable to succeed a 2.0 . Spring semester of 2015 was anticipated to be the semester that I was out of academic probation. I was passing all my courses and was about to take finals to secure my grades and be able to continue to attend Colorado State University. However, something happened that was completely unforeseen.

I am petitioning for a retroactive withdrawal from the summer 2016. I had a tough experience during summer 2016 semesters, I struggled to maintain keeping up with class, attending all classes, and for that my grades end up suffering. At the time, I was dealing with relationship issues at home with my mom over my father, and finding out who my father was. I was taking care of my two young cousins which discontinued my ability to show up for class on some days. Alongside with my decision to pursue my career overseas career to play basketball and take care of my baby cousins.

After being denied admissions to UC Davis, I considered all my other options but none of it satisfies my heart. I decided to write this appeal instead, regardless of the odds. I would rather take another rejection than a lifetime of regrets for not giving my dream another shot when I could have.

During my first semester at UNC Charlotte, I experienced various circumstances that negatively impacted my academic progress. Prior to moving to Charlotte, I was charged with a traffic infraction in Montgomery County. Knowing this, I decided to move to Charlotte anyways and enroll in the spring semester of 2016. I also found a job before moving to Charlotte to help pay off my court fees and other necessities that I required. Later in the month of January, I received another infraction. During the month of February, I managed to pay off my court fees from my first infraction and manage my grades fairly. Whenever I had to pay off my second infraction, everything started to go downhill. This ticket was more expensive and the time frame was much

I am requesting to appeal to not be suspended for the fall of 2018. I understand that the reason for my suspension is because my GPA was low for two consecutive semesters. This issue that has risen is due to me failing Calculus 1 in the Spring of 2018.

Dear Esteemed Members of the Admissions Committee:I am submitting a letter of petition for readmission for the Fall 2011 term. I was dismissed from the university in 2005 for poor academic performance. Upon my entrance into the university I have always been very studious which has led me to excel academically throughout the years. When I began my studies at --- I was ignorant of so many things. I didnt really pick up on college regulations and penalties comfortably until my sophomore year. It was then when I learned that I unfortunately didnt drop a class I thought I had dropped. I learned my lesson and became very familiar with the college catalog at that point. During my enrollment at ----, I truly tried my best but it was not good
