Change in Financial Circumstances
In some cases, families experience unusual circumstances. Such situations include loss of income, death of a wage earner or unexpected medical expenses not covered by insurance. These types of events may warrant a review of the financial package. Peabody makes every effort to provide assistance to students who qualify; however, due to limited resources, it is not possible to provide assistance to every eligible student.
If you wish to appeal your award based on any of these or similar circumstances, you must:
- Make an appointment to speak to your financial aid counselor.
- Apply for financial aid using the FAFSA or International Student Application for Financial Aid and Scholarship. No appeal will be considered unless one of the above forms is received.
- Submit a written appeal, including an explanation of your circumstances and the amount of additional or new assistance that you need.
- Documents can be mailed, faxed or e-mailed to the address below.
Prospective students: Every effort will be made to communicate the results of your appeal prior to May 1st.
Returning students: Appeal decisions will be communicated to students over the summer months on a rolling basis. Please note: whatever decision was made about the awarding of scholarship at the time of your enrollment will stand for the duration of your degree program. Any new financial aid offered as a result of your appeal could consist of loans, grants or work-study.
