[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]This site is required by some school for financial aid. One of the questions is the one below:

Enter here any explanations of special circumstances which you believe may affect the financial aid decision for this applicant.


What constitutes "special circumstances" and what would help getting more aid from a school ?.[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif].

The Financial Aid Forum is the best forum to respond to this question.

Moving thread to Financial Aid.

if you had any other information, such as "my sister was just diagnosed with a serious illness and the medical expenses not covered by insurance are projected to be many tens of thousands," or "my father's company is engaging in a significant number of layoffs and he will lose his job in September of this year."

essentially, you can put anything there that will affect your financial situation but that was impossible to address anywhere else on the application. just expect that they will verify this information 😉
