We recognize that circumstances, such as a loss of a job or a divorce, can arise that affect a family s ability to contribute toward educational expenses. If your family has unique, documentable circumstances that affect your ability to contribute toward educational expenses, you may request that we re-evaluate your eligibility for need-based assistance based on those circumstances. Requests for re-evaluation must be in writing, and must include a detailed description of your family s unique circumstances.
