What kind of special circumstances are taken into account in the awarding of financial aid?
Federal regulations and school policy allow us to adjust the financial aid formula on a case-by-case basis for such things as unusually high medical expenses, tuition for private secondary school, payments made on educational debt, and support of aging grandparents. While we realize that other liabilities such as credit card debt, high mortgage payments, car loans and necessary home maintenance may result in cash flow problems, it is generally not possible to take such expenses into consideration when calculating parental contribution.
