Students and Families Impacted by Natural Disasters
If you or your family have been impacted by recent natural disasters, you may consider completing a
Special Conditions Application to have our office consider lost wages or out of pocket expenses incurred as a result of a natural disaster. Completing this application will allow us to reassess your 2019-2020 financial aid, which may result in an increase to your awards for the upcoming academic year.
