Special Circumstances Request Form
Households with documented exceptional financial circumstances (for example, private school tuition paid, a job loss, excessive medical expenses, or changes in household size) may request a recalculation of financial aid eligibility by completing a Special Circumstances Request form.  Please note that not all special circumstance requests, even if approved, result in actual changes to financial aid awarded. Therefore, families with exceptional financial circumstances should consult with a Financial Aid Counselor to assess the likelihood that their circumstances will result in an increase in financial aid eligibility before completing this form.  Do not complete this form until instructed to do so by a Financial Aid Counselor.  After a family has been determined to likely qualify for increased eligibility, the family will be instructed to complete all the verification process first (as described above) and then submit the Special Circumstances Request form with appropriate documentation.
