We understand that your family may be suffering financially from the Covid-19 economic shutdown or other outside factors (job loss, loss of hours/income, extensive medical expenses, death in the family, private school tuition, or another extenuating circumstance). If your current financial circumstance differs greatly from what is shown on the FAFSA, we invite you to complete the form below to see if you qualify for a Special Circumstance Petition (undergraduate students only, graduate and doctoral students are not eligible):

We thank you for your understanding during this unique time, and we are happy to assist you as best as we can.

You and your family may be eligible for federal, state, or local assistance and we want to make sure you have the tools and information necessary to access it! Please visit the Financial Fitness page for more guidance.
