Recognizing that federal legislation is now requiring students and parents to complete their FAFSA with prior, prior year tax information, some students and parents may have a significant change in their financial situation. Please contact the Financial Aid Office directly if your financial situation has changed due to:
- Loss of employment/pay reduction/benefits or retirement
- Unusual medical/dental expenses (must exceed 11% of total family income) or Nursing Home costs not covered by insurance
- Elementary/Secondary tuition costs for dependent children
- Unusually high child care costs
In order to be considered for any of the above federal professional judgment circumstances students must complete the verification process. Students and parents (if applicable) will be required to complete the Wells College verification & special circumstances appeal forms in addition to supplying supporting documentation of their financial changes.
