Talk to a financial aid specialist about your situation. We will guide you through the next steps and the required documentation to see if we can update your eligibility. Once a financial aid specialist has received your documentation, it will be reviewed, and you will be notified if additional documentation is needed. If your situation allows for an update, you will be notified within 60 days of a decision.

Personal choices that are made that cannot be considered are:
