Appealing Your Aid
If your family has experienced a change in circumstances (i.e. job loss, unexpected medical expenses) since you completed your applications for aid, we are willing to revisit your original need calculations and aid package taking the change in circumstances into consideration. Should you wish to receive such a review you will need to provide more than just a letter outlining the changes. We ask that you complete at least one of our appeal forms. Please read the forms carefully and choose the one that best fits your situation and provide all the information requested. Any incomplete appeal requests could delay the entire review process. Per Federal Regulations, there are two appeal processes that can be completed through the Office of Financial Aid: Special Circumstance and Unusual Circumstance. Please see the below to determine which process is appropriate for your situation.![](https://financial-aid.providence.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2023/11/Circumstances.png)
