Receiving Aid
Change in Family Circumstances
If you/your family have extenuating financial circumstances, check with your financial aid adviser to see if they might affect your financial aid application. Examples include:
- Divorce of parents, or you from your spouse.
- Death or disability of a major wage earner.
- Loss of employment of a major wage earner.
- Loss of other income or benefits (such as Social Security or child support), by you, your parents or spouse.
Students petitioning financial aid awards are strongly encouraged to do so from March 1 through June 1.
