Understand your College Costs

If you believe your Cost of Attendance used in determining your financial aid is insufficient, you may request a review of your Cost of Attendance (and aid eligibility).

If there has been a major change in you or your family’s situation since filing the FAFSA or TASFA or you have special circumstances that were not taken into consideration on the FAFSA, you can submit a Special Circumstances Appeal.
