Financial Aid Award Letters

Estimated Awards

Estimated awards are based solely on self-reported information on the 2011-2012 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and are subject to change after reviewing the 2011-2012 Emmanuel College Application for Financial Aid and signed copies of your parent(s) 2010 federal income tax returns and W-2s. Additional information may be requested.

Verification

If you enroll at Emmanuel and are awarded need-based aid, you must submit requested documents to the OSFS to finalize your award. All requested documents will be used to verify the information you provided on the FAFSA and Emmanuel College Application for Financial Aid.

You will receive a verified financial aid award letter once the review of this documentation has been completed. The verified award will differ from the estimated award only if the information on the FAFSA and/or Emmanuel College Application for Financial Aid is different from the information provided on the verification documents.

Financial Aid Award Guide

You will receive a Financial Aid Award Guide with your award letter; the guide provides descriptions of aid, procedures to complete the financial aid process, and biling information.

Appealing Your Award

Financial aid for the 2011-2012 academic year is based on 2010 income information. If you experience significant changes from 2010 to 2011, we may be able to consider this information to determine if you are eligible for additional assistance. These circumstances must be documented.  Significant changes may include:

• death of a parent,
• loss of employment (or decrease in salary),
• medical expenses not covered by insurance that exceed 5% of the family's adjusted gross income.

Please call 617-735-9938 or email a detailed letter to financialservices@emmanuel.edu and we will determine if additional assistance can be provided.
