Financial Aid Appeals
Special & Unusual Financial Circumstances Appeals
Bradley University recognizes that unplanned and unforeseen situations arise that impact educational financing plans. This may include: changes in the family financial circumstances that are not reflected on the student's FAFSA (special circumstances), unusual circumstances which would justify a change to the student’s dependency status, or cost of attendance adjustments. As financial aid administrators, we have the authority and responsibility to respond to these situations using professional judgement. On a case-by-case basis and with adequate documentation, we evaluate the situation and make an appropriate response. To learn more about Bradley University’s professional judgement policy and how to submit an appeal for your circumstances, please refer to:
Academic-Related Financial Aid Appeals
A student’s eligibility for some or all sources of financial assistance may be terminated for certain academic-related reasons. Academic-related appeals generally fall into one of two categories: failure to maintain satisfactory academic progress or loss of an academic scholarship. Appeals for these reasons must be made using the Satisfactory Academic Progress Petition & Scholarship Appeal Form.
