Financial Aid "appeal"

<p>Hi folks, thanks for all of the help and insight on this board. Much appreciated. We got a letter in the mail yesterday acknowledging receipt of d's financial aid appeal. Thing is, we did not appeal anything.</p>

<p>We <em>did</em> send in the info requested regarding the non-custodial parent, so I am wondering if this is just a form letter? I think the word "appeal" threw me off. </p>

<p>Finally, would a random call from a "substantial donor" generate this kind of communication? This is a big stretch, but there is a distant connection who is likely aware of my d's application. </p>

<p>Not complaining- additional aid would be welcome- we can't afford to go with the current FA package. Just wondering out loud....</p>

<p>Perhaps they are reviewing your circumstances and perhaps someone did call them to inform them that there were special circumstances. I don’t know. </p>

<p>I wish you the best of luck with this.</p>
