Dear Office of Financial Aid:
My name is Miada Henfield and I am writing to ask you to appeal my suspension of my federal financial aid. Throughout my years in school my studies were my main priority, and I took them very serious. This past fall quarter my mother kicked me out of her house, and I was living from relative to relative and some nights not even knowing where I would lay my head. I continued to attend school regularly and complete my work, but it wasn’t to the ability I knew I could. I completed all my assignments but the grades I received were not good at all. I let my personal life problems affect me and my school work and that was not the correct route I should have taken. I understand that my actions were my responsibility and no one else’s I understand everyone is not given the privilege to receive financial aid or even attend college. I now have a stable home environment which I am living in I live with my grandmother and I have a place where I can go to and study but also get help if needed.
I have demonstrated over the past few quarter that I have the ability to make good grades but sometimes I let situations get the best of me and I allowed those situations to make my grades suffer. I understand that my grades were not acceptable and were not reflective of what the college stands for and expects out of us. I understand that receiving financial aid is a privilege and not promised to all and I was blessed enough to receive the financial help which was greatly needed. I understand that it is not anyone’s fault but my own that my financial aid was taken away from me. I did apply myself in my studies, but I did not apply myself to my full capabilities that I know I have. I take my studies very serious and understand that this is a serious matter, and I take full responsibility in not passing one of my attempted courses but also in not meeting SAP. I do not feel my time or journey is complete at Savannah Tech and I will not squander my second chance when granted.
I will not come into the new quarter with the same mindset I have a new mindset and hope to be deemed a second chance. I have implemented a plan that will help to bring up my GPA but also uphold the grades that the college wants me to uphold in order to be able to keep my financial aid. My main focus will be successfully completing the math course and also keeping my GPA up to standard. Below I will layout my plan that will put me on the right track and keep me there to bring my grades up and to help me succeed.
1.I will utilize the math lab and set up tutorial twice a week and also become familiar with the tutors.
2.I will become personally acquainted with my professors as well as my advisors.
3.I will meet with my professors once a week to understand where I am in the course and what I need to do to complete the course successfully.
4.I will limit my social activities and use majority of my free time to study and complete homework.
5.I will enroll in tutorial services for my English class.
6.I will be on time to all of my classes and attend them regularly and take full advantage of class time to ask questions and take necessary notes.
I understand and take full responsibility for my actions and the low grades that I have made. From this point forward I am making a solemn commitment to do whatever it take to make up for the classes that I have failed as well as making A’s in the classes I will take in the future. I am willing to take classes year round including the summer and also cut back on my hours at work as well as limiting my social activities. Due to my current living situation I am dependent on financial aid to continue my education, and without it, I cannot attend school. So I am asking you today, to please deem me worthy of a second chance in receiving financial aid. Please carefully consider reinstating my financial aid, so that I may progress on from those times of hardship towards an honest college education. Thank you for taking the time out to read my appeal.
Sincerely yours,
Miada Henfield
