Financial Aid Appeal

June 08, 2011

Dear Office of Student Financial Assistance:

I am appealing my financial aid suspension because of difficulty completing my courses. Last semester was my second semester here, and I believe that my work schedule prevented me from meeting Satisfactory Academic Progress. I worked 40+ hours a week. Without financial aid I would not be able to take the courses I need to be admitted to here or any other University of my choice.

The Steps I am going to take or have taken to assure successful academic progress in the future:

*Cut back on my work hours that I may take on in the future so I may have more time to study.

*Obtain a tutor for the classes I find difficult.

*Meet with each of my instructors and talk with them about what they believe will make me a better student in their class.

*Go to the scheduled office hours of each instructor when I am having difficulties with the class material.

*Develop a relationship with other students to form study groups.

*Go to class on time as scheduled.

I believe that I was letting work get in the way of school. My schedule was very demanding and it left little time to study. Currently my job has ended as it was a temporary position at a tax firm. Next tax season I will work part-time in order to have more time to study.

Finally, I hope to complete my B.S. in accounting & marketing here or any other University of my choice. Without financial aid, I lack the ability to continue on with my education. I am a hard working student and the upcoming semester will prove so. My education is of paramount importance to me. Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,
