Hello,
I am trying to write a letter to appeal my financial aid award letter. I know certaintly for the fact that I need help with grammar and structure. I appreciate you guys' helps.
Financial Aid Appeal Committee,
I am really thankful
for the generous award letter, but I still can not afford to attend <hide> University. On the award letter sent to
me on June 22, 2007, it suggested that my parents should take a $9500 Federal
Plus Loan. My parents have $480,000 mortgages that they are struggling to pay—they
pay $2,710.53 for the first mortgage and $1,188.08 for the second mortgage
(monthly). Yet, they make only $4200 from their jobs. They also need pay for utilities
and foods—they are scrambling every dollar to pay these bills. Therefore, I can not see myself asking my
parents to take another loan on my behalf. My family simply can not financially
support my college education.
There is no doubt
in my mind that I will succeed at <hide> University. My first semester grade point average is 3.3 at <hide> University
and my second semester grade point average is 3.6 at University of <hide> .
I was struggling at the first semester, but I corrected most of my academic
weakness.
University of <hide>
gives me full a scholarship. However, I decided to come back to <hide> University because MU has wonderful
teachers, staffs, and learning environments. It is really tempting to go to that
college for free but I am willing to take Subsidized Stafford Loan to go Marymount University.
I
am convinced that with the help of this committee I will able to finish my
college education—MU tuition assistance. I want to express my sincere
appreciation for giving me the opportunity to explain my financial
circumstances. I am looking forward to
hear good new from you.
Sincerely
