A special circumstances form lets the school know that your family’s income has fallen since the tax year reported on the FAFSA. It’s also useful for listing other financial changes such as a large medical expense.
Each school has its own form available from the financial aid office. If you haven’t decided on a school, you can fill out a form for each of your final choices. It’s best to fill out the form as soon as possible because it may increase your eligibility for aid for money awarded early in the academic calendar.
The deadline for application for the 2022-2023 school year is June 30, 2023.
