Financial Aid Appeal
To Financial Aid Committee:

My name is . My major is blah. 2009-2010

First year of college was very challenging to me yet I was still wasn't ready for the courses that I chose. My goal was to obtain an a degree maybe, i haven't decided yet, and then i wanted to transfer to a 4 year institute to obtain a B.A Degree. My educational goal was to be majoring in an unknown field to many.

In Fall 2009 I chose courses I have since realized were too difficult for a first-time student and I became overwhelmed. Having had no prior experience with college-level life, courses, and exams. I was not sure what to expect and learned that my study techniques lacking, resulting in poor grades. I also failed to attend the review sessions, did not seek assistance from my professor or tutoring help, and as a result I failed my courses.

Due to these circumstances I have been rendered ineligible to receive financial aid. Without financial aid I will be unable to continue my education because I cannot afford the cost of supplies, fees, transportation, and personal expenses. Receiving financial aid will allow me more time to study properly. Without it, I will be forced to take time away from my studies in order to work. My academics are my first priority now and I realize I need to devote all of my time to them in order to be successful in the future

I recently evaluated my plans to improve my academic. I have determined the following points to be the keys to my educational success.

1. I will balance the course choices better.
2. I will manage my time wisely on academics.
3. I will seek assistance with my coursework when I have difficulties.
4. I will maintain communication with my professors on a regular basis to ensure success in my courses
5. Complete classes C or better.

I understand the expectation better now and I am doing well in my coursework this semester with currently all passing grades. I have made a huge improvement and I am determined to pass every

    It was in my third semester of nursing school where I hit a major roadblock. I was taking a required class called Complex Health Alterations (CHA), this class in particular spanned two full semesters and was taken in two parts; my roadblock came at the end of the second semester. This class was challenging for me and I had to put a great deal of time and effort into preparing for exams, I found myself either doing moderately well or sometimes not too well. At the end of the semester when final grades came out I was .02 percent below the passing grade to move on to the final semester of the program. I was devastated, but pragmatic enough in knowing that I didn’t pass, remembering what my dad had always told me, “move on, it is over and in the past, you need to look forward, what is done is done”. I genuinely planned on moving forward but had heard from fellow students that the one of the other students that had technically “failed” the course was being allowed to move on because she had only received .01 percent below the passing grade; this had stopped me dead in my tracks. I contemplated how I was going to handle this, should I step up and say something? Should I keep my mouth shut and retake the…

    My name is -------- and I am writing to appeal my suspension from financial aid. I hope that you will reconsider your decision and grant my financial aid. I would like to begin thanking you in advance for taking the time to read this letter and consider my request to reinstate my financial aid at Metropolitan State University at Denver. I admit, I took so many credit hours in college, but I would like to explain the reason. As Spanish person, and because I speak English as a second language, I had to take ESL(English as a Second Language) classes for my first two years (four semesters) at CCD (Community College of Denver). The ESL program was not something that I had chosen, but something that I had to get done in order to follow my general education. I did not mean to spent so much time in college and take so many credit hours, but I did not have other options.…

    I am writing to appeal my current student aid suspension for the Fall 2012 semester. I understand that the release of financial aid to me is of concern of the college due to my GPA. However, I have taken the steps to complete six credit hours this summer, under my own financial responsibility (which I am still in the process of paying off), and received excellent grades for both classes. After sustaining the financial strain of paying for these courses, it will be impossible for me to finance my education on my own this semester with the current financial obligations I already face.…

    A personal accomplishment of mine that sets me apart, not from the individuals of SFA or my community per se, but from my family, is that I am the first person to go to a four-year university with an end goal in mind. Both, my mother and father, attended a community college, but only completed about two semesters each. Neither of them knew what they wanted to gain from college, they simply attended because they thought it was what they were supposed to be doing. However, I have an end goal. I know I want to have a career in the psychology department, either as a clinical psychologist or a forensic psychologist, and I know I will eventually have to go to graduate school after my first four years. This accomplishment has really set me apart because…

    I am a graduating student of the Bronx High School of Science. I applied and have received a good amount of acceptances from various colleges including some expensive ones like NYU. I'm glad that there are many options available for me but I can't afford to go without financial aid. My family is in the lower middle class and working 10 to 11 hours a day in a family takeout. The cost of pretty much any of the colleges available to me would put a heavy burden on my parents who are already working hard each and every day. 3000 dollars in scholarship for mean education would mean 3000 dollars less of a burden that me and my family would face…

    The next most important goal of mine is to obtain my degree. I am majoring in psychology, something I have been interested in since I was a small child. Getting my associate’s degree would mean the world to me and signify to my family and I that all these years of hard work have paid off. The college has an excellent psychology program and I’m very interested, which definitely makes things easier on me. I’m still just as interested in psychology as I was years ago.…

    This did open my eyes enormous I wasn’t craving to do this and attempt to do all this again and suddenly next year I proved it to myself. In all of my classes I never once worried about what I did last year. I passed every class with either an A or a B I was on top of everything even with the extra work and I passed those two classes I needed to accomplish so I caught up on everything. In this situation, I could have easily taken the effortless way out and just diminished my hopes of graduating and said whatever, but I chose to put up with the struggle and do what I should have done. From that, now I endure in all of my classwork and outside of school work. During all of this I realized that I couldn't do what I did so now I’m working and working doing everything I can to pull off marvelous grades and never worry about getting behind. I’m gratified that I learned this life lesson the tough way and chose that appropriate path it just made myself realize also that life is not a walk in the park and you need to live and…

    My first educational goal is to study more to improve my grades, even though I am already an excellent student who has maintained a 3.86 GPA and has earned the Dean’s List and Provost awards for my first two semesters of college. I will do this by managing my time more to have an almost-perfect GPA when I graduate. I also want to graduate college on time with my bachelor’s degree in graphic design so I can begin graduate school right after. For my master’s degree, I plan on pursuing a different field such as business so I can start my own graphic-design business.…

    Now, that it is the end of the semester it is easy for me to say, “I should have done this, instead of that.” However, foresight can be quite difficult when laying out your education goals. Luckily, after our first conference I had found areas in which I see myself striving as a good student. I am now working on education satisfaction, asking for help when I need it, and working on my personal achievement goals.…

    I would say that my initial motivations to start college at Southern New Hampshire University would be similar to many of my classmates and that is to advance ourselves into our careers. As in my case I am returning to school as I found out without a degree my advancement in the workforce will have limitations. Even though I have gained great experience in my career, the only way to break through the barrier walls and open the doors of opportunity is with education. My first initial motivations involved in me refinish something that I started a long time ago and was not able to complete then, and second motivation is of course getting ahead in my career. My third motivation to restart college my sound a bit odd and that would be to hang my framed degree on the wall for the world to see. I remember when I was child I would go into my father’s office and would see all his degrees and awards framed on the walls. I told myself back then I must have that when I am all grown up. I thought this would also make my father proud as I leaned playing baseball and football in high school failed to win his approval as he did not believe in sports as a way doing that. I spent too much of my early life trying to get him to be proud of me and win his acceptance. Now I have learned it is all about me and making myself proud and that is to invest into myself through college.…
