Financial aid appeal letter due to maximum time frame

Hello everyone!

I am trying to gather ideas as to what to write in my financial aid appeal letter. I have reached the maximum amount of hours and actually have finished an associate's degree however I changed my major so many times that I ended up just taking the General Studies Degree route. I would like to go back to the same school and become a Radiology Technician. The school will not help with financial aid due to a rule of maximum time frame meaning I have reached the maximum amount of credit hours for a degree. The financial advisor at the college said that I can write a fiancial aid appeal letter asking for them to allow me to finish up my Radiology degree and exclude the classes that I've already taken. This is where I need some help. I want to let the college know how important it is for me to become a Radiology Technician as well as the fact that I do not have the money to cover the tuition for the degree. Can anyone help me out? It only has to be a 1 page letter but I am really struggling with it. Please help!

Thank you, I really appreciate it!

Hi Lydia, I recently just went through the same process. I surprisingly heard back after just two days, and my appeal was approved. What I explained in my appeal were the reasons in which I was not able to complete my degree in the appropriate time frame.

I just turned mine in today. I explained that I got pregnant and changed majors 3 times. Would have been nice to get a warning. I didn't even know this could happen.

I finished the Radiologic Technology program in 2007. I wouldn't recommend anyone be a x-ray tech. It is so hard to find a job and the profession doesn't get any respect! My advice to you is go to nursing school. You can get a job anywhere and the pay is out of this world. You also get the respect you deserve.

I am starting the MAXTIME appeal process. I Have a degree in General Studies, and just recieved my Nursing Degree. Unfortunalety I am unable to find a job right now.
