<p>Can anyone tell me how the appeal process for financial aid works?</p>
<p>I was wondering if I could get some work study instead of taking out so many loans...</p>
<p>Anyone know anything? Please help! Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>bumppppppp. Help please!</p>
<p>How are you trying to appeal? </p>
<p>I was not aware that you could convert loans into work study. I know I did the reverse. I turned my work study into a loan.</p>
<p>I petitioned to take the current year’s income into consideration and that’s how I fixed my financial aid.</p>
<p>Well I’m not really sure how the appeal process works either. :X How did you appeal? Any useful website you could link me to?</p>
<p>I was thinking of calling the financial aid office and asking them.</p>
<p>They didn’t offer work study to me at all, and my loans are greater than my EFC, so I was thinking maybe I could work some of it off? </p>
<p>Anyone know anything helpful?</p>
<p>Work study is basically a normal job. You can still get a job on campus and work and get money that way. </p>
<p>There’s no real process that I am aware of. Call the financial aid office, explain your situation, talk to your counselor and they will do their best to help you out. </p>
<p>Call them ASAP, they can help you a lot more than any of us can. They can see your file, your stats, etc. They can advise you a lot better than we can.</p>
<p>Loans being greater than EFC have no relevance.</p>
