Possible to Appeal to get Work Study?

Thanks for all of your replies!

It’s just that I already have a job. I worked really hard all year as a lab assistant cleaning labware and refilling bottles and doing inventory and biohazard trash and I just recently got asked to help with research by a doctor in the lab. I’ve been learning so much and my boss told me that I could come back in the fall and continue what I am doing. Without the workstudy, I can’t continue what I am doing and I would either have to start from the bottom again cleaning dishes or find a job totally irrelevant to my field of studies.

Do you think this would be a strong point of an appeal? I am just really disappointed with all this because it’s not like i wasnt skilled or that I was doing a bad job, but because the financial aid office didnt think I needed work study and so I lose such a great opportunity.
