I have not incurred expenses related to the disruption of campus operations due to COVID-19, but have experienced an income reduction in my household due to the virus. Can this be taken into consideration when developing my financial aid package for the 2020-21 school year?

At times, an income change can lead to increased financial aid eligibility for a student. Other times, it does not. The only way to find out how an income change will impact your eligibility is to go through the Professional Judgment process in the Financial Aid Office. You can find information about that process in the Financial Aid Special Circumstances (Professional Judgment) section of our website. CARES Act funding cannot be awarded on the basis of an income reduction.
