- Body of the letter
The first sentence needs to state who you are and your intention. You goal in this case is to write an appeal for financial aid. You should start off by explaining why you feel the denial should be changed. Why is the rejection incorrect, given your situation? In some instances a denial is because you technically have too much income. You may not, so you may state your actual income and your actual sources of income. Then you can launch into how you would like help to solve the issue, so that you may be able to afford going to college for further education.
Do not be negative or say that they were outright wrong. Instead, simply mention your situation and what makes it unique and thus requires a reward of financial aid through an appeal. Support the letter with as much evidence as possible to help get a solution in your favor. Always avoid being negative as it puts off the reader.
