<p>I am in desperate need of getting some info on the financial aid appeal process. How exactly does an appeal letter look like? What does it contain? If you need more info on my situation: visit <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=163014%5B/url%5D">http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=163014</a> .Thank you so much.</p>
<p>well after emailing american u for their fin aid award, they responded with,,</p>
<p>"Dear applicant,</p>
<p>Thank you for your email and your interest in AU. In order to appeal your financial aid award, you need to write an email to your financial aid counselor Amy Walker at <a href="mailto:awalk@american.edu">awalk@american.edu</a> telling why you need more financial aid. However, most financial aid appeals are rejected unless you can provide additional information that was not reflected on your FAFSA report and on your AU Institutional Financial Aid Application. "</p>
<p>-according to this i'm pretty sure my appeal would be rejected if i go through with it, but i'll try for the heck of it. from reading your other post it seems as if you had additional info that you didnt add on ur fafsa, thus if u appeal, you;d be supplyin new info. anyways good luck. </p>
<p>oh and the appeal process is prolly different for each school, so just email or call the fin aid office for info. peace</p>
<p>maden10, thank you so much. you have been very hopeful.
scottaa, thank you once again, for your help.</p>
