How to Do a Budget Appeal

You are allowed to submit a request to increase the size of your standard budget for certain expenses that are above the standard amounts:

• The cost of your rent and utilities or the cost of your University Residence Hall.
• The cost of purchasing a computer; you can only request this once every three years.
• The cost of uninsured medical, dental, or optical expenses.
• Childcare.

The Budget Appeal Form includes information about which expenses can be claimed. This form is available on our Forms page.

In most cases an approved Budget Appeal will result in additional loan or work-study. To find out more about this process, please visit 211 Sproul Hall to get individual advising.
