USC Financial Aid: How to Appeal?

My point was that money will disappear by the end of June. We’re legally obligated to spend it to build a new kitchen and bathroom in our home.

Again, we never know. I still choose to be optimistic.

I guess we’ll see in a couple of weeks!

Sure always good to be positive. But think about it, if it was that easy, everyone would just empty their bank accounts on everything and anything. Assets have to be reported whether it is in the bank or in the house, on the driveway etc. Besides, they are using a year back not current. So just trying to tell you that will count. It is amazing how many think because they have big expenses they will get aid. They don’t get that those expenses were a choice that could have been spent on college. The colleges certainly see it that way.

Hi, I just received my Fin Aid package. It was shockingly very low. Could anyone share how your appeal went? Thank you.
