Your financial aid package isn’t always final. If your award wasn’t what you expected—or doesn’t fully cover your costs—you may have the option to appeal. Many families successfully negotiate for additional aid, but knowing how to approach the process is key.
Think your financial aid offer is set in stone? Think again! Many students don’t realize they can appeal their financial aid awards—and that when done strategically, appeals can lead to additional funding.
In this webinar, we’ll break down the entire appeal process so you can confidently request a reconsideration of your financial aid package. Our financial aid experts will cover:
→ When and why you should appeal—and how to determine if you have a strong case.
→ What to include in your appeal letter to make it as compelling as possible.
→ Mistakes to avoid that could hurt your chances of receiving additional aid.
→ How to communicate with your financial aid office and advocate for yourself effectively.
The session will wrap up with a live Q&A, so bring your questions and get expert advice tailored to your situation.
Don’t leave money on the table—register now and learn how to maximize your financial aid award!

Chris Abkarians is co-founder and CEO of Juno, the first collective bargaining group for student loans.
While at Harvard Business School, he and a classmate bundled together 500 students who needed loans for the upcoming semester. They asked banks to compete on the rates they would give to members of the group in exchange for gaining everyone's business. And that's how Juno was born.
Today, Juno helps 200,000+ students and families find the lowest rates to pay for college and graduate school.
Prior to Juno, Chris worked in management consulting and at Netflix, where he managed global TV content strategy. He is a graduate of Harvard Business School and Duke University.
