Due to ongoing delays at the US Department of Education, we will be able to process these appeals sometime in July, when the Department begins accepting changes in their system.
Temple University strives to offer our families the best financial aid offers possible within the boundaries of federal, state, and university funding. However, we understand the FAFSA does not always capture the most accurate financial snapshot of your household, and that certain circumstances may present your family with unique financial challenges. If your family has experienced a significant change of financial circumstances, you may be able to request a Family Contribution Appeal to have your federal financial aid eligibility reevaluated. Requesting an appeal does not guarantee an adjustment can be made to the financial aid offer, and the review process will require our office to request additional documentation.
We are now accepting Family Contribution Appeals for 2024-2025. Please see the instructions below for submitting. Please note that if you have a negative SAI, you are already receiving the maximum amount of aid possible, and this appeal will not have further impact.
