RE: Financial Aid
Dear Name of Administrator,
Thank you for the offer of financial aid so that I can attend [XYZ University]. Since I submitted my application, my family’s financial position has drastically changed.
As mentioned in my application, my mother is a single parent. She recently lost her employment due to the downsizing of the company for which she worked.
As a result of this, she will not be able to pay the portion of my college education as we thought at the time I made my application. I have enclosed documents showing her employment position and our monthly expenses. She will be making every effort to find new employment.
I would be very grateful if you could adjust the amount of financial aid you offered me, as it would make the difference between me continuing my education or stopping and getting a job.
My aim is to work hard and graduate from your esteemed institution. I will be happy to send you any more information or fill out any application forms required. I can be reached at [555 123 4567] or at [[email protected]].
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
Applicant’s Name
