I think you are going to have to ask NMH that question, as that wasn’t part of the contract that I saw. It may mean that you cannot reapply for FA this year. However, I will tell you that if you don’t get FA the first year, it is highly unlikely that you will get aid in future years – don’t count on a penny. When I talked with the NMH FA office, she said that when they make a financial aid award for a kid, they budget that amount for all four years. They do not add kids into that budget, nor increase aid for kids, unless there are very special circumstances (loss of job, death, etc).

What you need is a review of this year’s fa award – and it sounds like you might not be able to ask for that. You need to call and ask. If you don’t get any FA this year, then you parents need to decide if they can/want to send you – keeping in mind that you are unlikely to be granted any aid in future years.
