Dear Financial Aid Committee:
Thank you in advance for taking the time to review my letter of appeal for financial aid reinstatement. First, let me say, I wholeheartedly appreciate your granting me this award in order to make my educational dreams a blissful reality. It would be a great honor for me to continue on the path which I started before I suffered this temporary setback.
I take full responsibility for why my grades slipped and because unsatisfactory. There is no one else to blame but myself for not being able to control my emotional state during a time of terrible crisis to the point where I could maintain an acceptable G.P.A. For that I am sincerely sorry because I feel that I have let many people down, including myself.
When I found out that I was 9 weeks pregnant I was so happy and excited but January 24, 2013 I found that I was going to have miscarriage my world just turned upside down. I had miscarriage on January 27, 2013 thru February 15, 2013. I was not able to handle the grief well and I let my grades slip to the point where they could not be recovered. The pain, emotions of sadness, it was the most terrible things that happened during semester , but I should have handled it better, especially knowing that I had to maintain a certain G.P.A in order to keep my financial aid award.
I am asking the financial aid office to give me a second chance to prove that I am worthy of this award so I can continue in my studies. Professor Julie Maxson is fully aware of my situation. I email her several time but she never replied and never offered me a time to sit down with her and go over my grade. Enclosed, please find a discharge papers from the Doctor regarded this situation.
I hope that you will give me a second chance. Please be rest assured that I will do whatever it takes to fix the areas the committee thinks should be fixed in order to prove myself worthy of such a generous financial aid award.
Sincerely
XXXX

Thanks for all you've done in accommodating me with this nightmare. Moreover, I'm blessed. I can't stop thanking God and you! For some apparent reason, I did not see the letter grade (C).

I appreciate your appeals committee decision however; I respectively disagree with the decision. I am choosing the option of appealing the denial. I am on a max hour appeal. I am writing to you to express that 93 of the credits I have are due to completion of vocational programs. These are programs that have helped me to enter the workforce. The remainder 12 credits I have could be used toward the Entrepreneurship/Small Business AAS degree. I currently use all of my certificates of proficiencies to barely live in middle class. In addition to Pensacola State College (PSC), I have attempted to enroll at University of West Florida (UWF). I did not have enough credits to transfer over; none of my vocational credits would transfer. UWF then forwarded my information to the UWF Small Business Development Center. I met with Mrs. Etheridge, business analyst. We looked at the five workshops offered and discovered that I need more in-depth classes. She advised me to return to PSC to enroll in Entrepreneurship/Small Business AAS degree.…

That statement basically means, no matter where you come from, you have to be willing to put your best foot forward in order to succeed. I can relate to that statement very well because I was born outside of the United States. I understood the struggles that I would have to face while growing up because many doors that are open to everyone else are restricted from me just because I am not a citizen. I have made various contributions and put in a lot of hard work these past 20 years of living here. Even with DACA, I am still unable to apply for Federal Aid but that does not hold me back from reaching a higher education. This is the reason why I work so hard and started to build my credit in order to build a better future for myself. I often…

Not everyone deals with failure in the same way, I no I didn’t. I see failure as a learning experience and a reflection of who I am, or who I could’ve been. Usually, my defeats result in the expression “Better job next time,” but when my body failed to comply with natures natural purpose, a vast amount of disbelief overwhelmed me, unable to change my odds of a “Better job next time.” Miscarriages can manifest into mental, physical, and emotional obstacles because such mishaps, will eat away at an individual’s well-being. My miscarriage surfaced other unseen medical issues that left me with a whole in my heart and dreams of becoming a mother one day, non-existent.…

Dear Esteemed Members of the Admissions Committee:I am submitting a letter of petition for readmission for the Fall 2011 term. I was dismissed from the university in 2005 for poor academic performance. Upon my entrance into the university I have always been very studious which has led me to excel academically throughout the years. When I began my studies at --- I was ignorant of so many things. I didnt really pick up on college regulations and penalties comfortably until my sophomore year. It was then when I learned that I unfortunately didnt drop a class I thought I had dropped. I learned my lesson and became very familiar with the college catalog at that point. During my enrollment at ----, I truly tried my best but it was not good enough. I was devastated to see how I was performing when I knew I was capable of doing better. I graduated 3rd in my class with a 4.2 on a 4 scale. I had never performed so poorly, EVER! As depressing as this was for me I never gave up. I kept striving for better results but in the end I had to face reality. When I was dismissed from the university I blamed myself for my failures. I was too proud to admit that there were underlying causes that led to such a poor performance on my behalf. When there are problems in my life I usually find ways to deal with them without making them known. Ive re-evaluated the situation and have come to the conclusion that I was in denial of the issues my medical condition was causing me. I am a type 1 diabetic which was not under its best control during my enrollment. I never wanted to admit that it was causing me problems but I realize that it needs to be known and I should not be ashamed of it. My health caused me to be in an uncontrollable state of drowsiness constantly. On some occasions it required hospitalization. There were times I woke up on my floor confused and out of touch with reality. The hospital became my second home. It seemed as if I wasnt at school or the dormitory I was in the…

Without financial aid I will be unable to continue my education because I cannot afford the cost of supplies, fees, transportation, and personal expenses.

I, Kourtney Brooks, am writing to you in hopes that the decision of me being ineligible for financial aid due to not maintaining a cumulative GPA of 2.0 can be appealed due to extenuating circumstances. Entering into the spring semester, due to my performance in the Fall I knew there was a lot of work to be done. In the Fall, after being out of college for a few years I had to get acclimated to working and going to school full time, not to mention online schooling, which is something I hadn’t experienced before, but due to having to work to take care of myself I made the decision to try it because I know in order to truly excel in life I have to further my education. Nonetheless, I went into the spring semester a stronger student due to the mistakes in the semester that instilled the strength and…

Not everyone is lucky enough to be able to afford to continue his or her education into the college level. Financial aid helps those in need to continue their education, however, financial aid does not help everyone. One important group of people left out of receiving financial aid are those under the age of 25, unmarried, with no children, and completely independent of their parent 's income. Because of how the system works, these people must present their parent 's income on the FAFSA to see if they qualify for any financial aid.…
