Budget Increases for Special Circumstances

The mission of the SCO Financial Aid Office is to see that you receive the funds necessary to complete the program with the least possible debt at graduation. In keeping with this mission, you may request consideration for additional loan amounts when the additional amount will not exceed your calculated need or when there is additional expense not originally included in your calculated need. The additional expense must be related to your attendance at SCO and not have been reasonably foreseeable.

Even if all of the above are true, additional funding may not be possible if the additional expense is not federally allowable or if loan limits would be exceeded. However, we will always try to accommodate you in the event of a new dependent child in your household, or if you are assigned to a non-local externship in your fourth year.

One of our financial aid counselors can determine if you are eligible for an adjustment.
