Ask for Help
If you don't fully understand your financial aid offer or the
process of applying for and receiving financial aid, contact a
college's financial aid office. You can find the contact
information for your college's financial aid office on their
website.
If one college offers a substantially
different package than another, reach out to that college to learn
more. The difference could be due to an error on a form, or the
college may have had different information.
Families that have had significant changes in income after
filing the FAFSA should also contact the financial aid office at
the college they're attending. The aid officer may be able to
adjust the financial aid eligibility in certain situations.
