The Profile has little or nothing to do with federally funded aid. That is determined by the FAFSA EFC.

But you point out something. If there is something that is disceptant between the Profile and Fafsa numbers, the school will likely look at the fafsa more carefully.

I don’t believe financial aid officers can do ANYTHING to modify a Profile. But they can…and are required to do so on,the fafsa if they see something that isn’t right.

But you should be able to,get a reason why this was changed. It may take some persistence…but call and ask to speak to an actual financial aid officer. Get that person’s name. If they don’t answer your question , move up the food,chain to a supervisor.

Now…if they give you a reason…but you don’t like it…that is a whole different issue.
