Income Changes Due to the Pandemic

If your family’s financial situation has changed significantly from what is reflected on your 2019 federal income tax return (for example, if you or a parent lost a job or otherwise experienced a drop in income), you may be eligible to have your financial aid adjusted. Please follow these steps if you would like to have your financial aid eligibility re-evaluated:

• Complete the 2021-22 FAFSA questions as instructed on the application (including the transfer of tax return and income information)
• Fill out an online request form which will allow you to briefly describe your change in financial circumstances
• The staff of the Student Financial Services office will review your information within two weeks. If we determine that you meet the criteria for a re-evaluation, then you will receive an email with a list of additional documents that will need to be provided. A formal re-evaluation of your financial aid eligibility will be done once all documentation has been received. 

Our staff understands that many families have been impacted negatively by the pandemic and we will do our best to assist you. Please don’t hesitate to contact the Student Financial Services office by phone, email or virtual appointment if you have any questions about the process.
