<p>I sent in my special circumstance form and essay about 2 months ago. A month ago I received a scholarship which should cover half of the yearly tuition. Even with this added to my initial offer, maximum stafford + workstudy, I still will require additional funding. As a independant undergrad I'm ineligible for a PLUS loan to cover living expenses. I have asked on this board a few times the criteria necessary to establish eligiblity for a EFC readjustment based on my unemployed status. Everything I have read both here and from other sources indicate that I am eligible for a very low EFC, should my circumstances be accounted for properly. I am very very nervous that the FA administrator my not make the proper adjustments. </p>
<p>I'm counting on getting a Pell grant and a NJ TAG grant, which SHOULD allow my EFC to be readjusted to account for my dislocated status. Is is acceptable to contact the person who is overseeing my allotment? I found out the persons name and their email, would this be considered lobbying or a questioning their professional judgement ? What would be the best way to reiterate to this administrator how reliant I shall be on those grants?</p>
