Special circumstances 2024-25
Economic hardships are a reality for many families. When you complete the 2024-25 FASFA, income information from 2022 is used. If you or your parent’s income has drastically changed for 2024 you may qualify to be considered for additional financial aid support.
Examples of special circumstances include but are not limited to:
- Medical costs not covered by insurance
- Parent loss of income
- High dependent care expenses
- Child support ending
- Unusual debt or one-time income
- Marital status changes
The financial aid administrator must have compelling reasons to use professional judgment to make adjustments due to special circumstances. The administrator’s decision is final and cannot be appealed.
If you believe you qualify to be considered for additional financial aid support, please contact the financial aid office at finaid@bluffton.edu or 419-358-3266 to discuss your situation. From there, you may be asked to turn in additional documents.
