Can I be reconsidered for financial aid?

It certainly can’t hurt to ask about being considered at this late date. Amherst presents as good a chance to make funds available at this stage of the game, as any. BEst of luck… and please report back to let us know how your request was received.

We had an uncharacteristically high income in 2011 and both my older kiddos’ private schools were willing to reconsider our 2012/2013 financial needs, after initial awards were communicated.

We had to fill out supplemental forms and provide supporting documentation to demonstrate how income would vary for 2012 (and beyond). One school came back with an extra $2,500 grant over 4 years (an extra $10K), and we are still waiting to hear from the other school. You won’t know, if you don’t ask.
