Will the Financial Aid Office take this into consideration (appeal letter) So my dad is the only one who brings all of the money to the table, all of our income is from him. He was recently told that his hourly wage was getting cut by 10% and that his additional daily pay was getting cut by $200. He made a large amount of money these past three months (nearly 1/3 of what our projected income is going to be), so that brings our estimated yearly income to a high number. He is also on some thin ice because of the economy, each day brings the likelihood of unemployment even higher. If I explain my situation, will the financial aid office understand that my projected yearly income is not entirely accurate and that I will need more aid than is expected?
