While attending Ohio State University, there are several types of appeals you may utilize to address special or unusual circumstances, educationally related costs that may exceed the standard cost of attendance, and loss of university-administered scholarships.
Change of Circumstances
Special Circumstances - If you or your family’s financial situation has changed from what is reflected on your federal income tax return or your current FAFSA, you may be eligible to have your financial aid adjusted.
Unusual Circumstances - If you are experiencing a unique situation impacting your financial aid dependency status, you may be eligible for consideration of a dependency override.
Cost of Attendance Appeal
If you have additional expenses which exceed the standard costs of attendance at Ohio State University this academic year, you may appeal to have your Cost of Attendance reviewed.
University-Administered Scholarship Appeal
Ohio State University has established an appeal process for the loss of your university-administered scholarship due to an extenuating circumstance or being enrolled less than full time your final semester before graduating.
