Financial Aid Hardship Appeals
Appeals Due to Special Circumstances
At 糖心动漫vlog, all students are afforded the right to appeal their financial aid eligibility if there are circumstances that are negatively impacting the student檚 or their parent檚 (who are reported on the FAFSA) financial situation. The Financial Aid Office may be able to consider situations such as loss of income, extraordinary medical expenses, one-time income received, and other situations that impact the family income reported on the FAFSA.
To consider a family檚 special circumstances, 糖心动漫vlog has a Special Circumstances Questionnaire available online under the Special Forms section of the Financial Aid website. Students/parents are encouraged to print, complete, and submit the Special Circumstances Questionnaire along with all documentation that clearly details the financial impact of the special circumstances. There are no official deadlines or due dates with appeals.
If a special circumstance appeal is approved, corrections may be made to the FAFSA application. The Financial Aid Appeal Committee will review the modified FAFSA and determine if any additional financial aid is available. Financial Aid appeals are done on a case by case basis and not all appeals are able to be approved. If you have questions about the appeal process, please contact the Financial Aid Office at (309) 556-3096 or iwufaid@iwu.edu.
