Ironic, isn't it?

Today, my father's company shut down his branch, leaving him without a job. This is followed by a letter from my school's financial aid office, saying I'm not getting a penny because my family's income level is too high. FML

You can appeal by showing proof that your dad lost his job. Happened to me.

Yeah write them a letter explaining things.

Yeah, everyone on here is right. I work in the financial aid department at a Big 10 university. All you have to do is fill out an SCA (Special Condition Application) for loss of employment. Just about the easiest financial aid problem to fix, period. Maybe you should've spent your time calling them instead of whining on here.

Rich boy you now have came to the poor side with me. Your life isn't ****** tawt.

This is an excelent case of irony!!!!

the financial aid system needs to change but your family should've saved some money for you already

Yeah, you DO know you can appeal the decision since he lost his job, right? FYL for having your dad lose his job, but you're still an idiot who doesn't know how to fix their problems.

Ydi for being rich and comfortable. Just kidding. But not really.

This isn't that big a deal... you can always write them a letter.

#22: Wtf? You do know that the college finacial aid has some very high standards you have to meet. Like middle class, still too much of an income. OP: Aw, that is so ironic & sucky. But you can appeal or write a letter, explaining the situation have your dad's old company send a letter or something. Try to find a job though. Good Luck!
