Can you Appeal For More Financial Aid?
Crucial Deadlines: If you're aiming for CSU or UC schools, remember the April 2nd deadline for financial aid, including Cal Grants. For private colleges, most deadlines have already passed in February and March.
Appealing for More Aid: To appeal for additional financial aid, you'll generally need to demonstrate an error on your FAFSA or an overstatement of your income. Colleges may be less inclined to offer more aid if your family income exceeds $70,000, unless you've experienced a significant hardship.
Affordability Matters: It's essential to consider whether the cost of a college is sustainable over the four or five years it will take to earn your degree. If your chosen schools seem too expensive, Deacon John offers assistance in finding more affordable options.
