Letter Writing
Satisfactory Academic Progress Petition for Reinstatment for Financial aid Appeal Letter!
Hello everyone,
I need help on how to write an appeal letter to financial aid, its actually for my daughter who lives with me in California, she just graduated with honors with her 2011 class. I surfed the web high and low, & am googled out, I saw this site & figured just ask. so here is the situation...........
When my daughter started high school she didnt start off on the right foot, she did not focus on her academics and she fell behind, well at the age of 14 & all the pushing and lecturing she finally stopped to listen to what I was saying & realized I was right so she met with her high school counselor & found out how far behind in credits she was. Her counselor advised her that with her strong will of determination and perserverence she does have a chance to just make up all her missing credits & graduate with her fellow classmates. she was advised to stay 3 hours everyday after school, doing extra curriculum & take a PE course at a communtity college. So she did...the only problem was that we went to register her at a community college but she never attended because for whatever reason (can't remember) was told she can make up the PE credits at her High school after all & she did and am proud to say she is the 1st of my 3 girls to graduate with the class of 2011. she is now motivated & wants to earn her bachelors as a Registered Nurse, so she went & applied for fall 2011 got her units cost waived and applied for financial aid & since I am currently unemployed due to a resent layoff I was certain that she would approve & can start college....WRONG! apparently both her and I didnt read the guidelines very clearly. When she enrolled in the college PE course at the age of 14 but never attended, however it was completed at her high school, we were to go back to the college and drop the class but with our lack of knowledge we never did, so FASFA denied her application due to her GPA being 0 & at least a 2.0 is required. now we have to appeal but I read somewhere online that "lack of college guidelines" is not a good excuse to appeal, my daughter and I take full responsibilty in that mostly me due to at the time she was a minor. I took a semester a very very long time ago but dont remember coming across any of that, so my daughter dreams are shot as well as mine & I need to help her I dont want her to be discourage & give up on me only to become lazy & at a dead end job I want her to succeed and be all she can be as every parent feels for the children...so again I need your advise, input & an idea of how we should write a very successful appeal letter.
Thank you

A similar thing happened with my nephew. He enrolled in college with a full scholarship, and flunked out without withdrawing. 0 GPA, for all 5 courses he was enrolled in!
- A similar thing happened with my nephew.
- He enrolled in college with a full scholarship, and flunked out without withdrawing.
- 0 GPA, for all 5 courses he was enrolled in!
- Five years later, after he matured and realized he needed an education to get a decent job, he discovered that could not qualify for any financial aid, because of the 0 GPA.
- So he re-enrolled in and paid for one of the courses he had failed (he saved his money to pay for one class).
