As an addition to your expected Cost of Attendance (COA), 勛圖惇蹋 will consider an allowance for expenses related to dependent care or special and unusual circumstances. Dependent in this instance refers to a child or elderly or disabled adult who is living in your household and for whom you provide more than 50% support. A spouse who is not elderly or disabled does not qualify as a dependent. A Dependent Care/Special Circumstances allowance in your COA is not automatic. You must request consideration for an increase.
For Dependent Care Appeals, complete the Dependent Care/Special Circumstances form and list your dependents. You must also provide proof of your spouses employment, if youre married, and a statement from your day care provider that states the providers taxpayer ID number, the child or adults name for whom the care is being provided, the starting care date, the ending care date, and the established rate. The Financial Aid Office will consider your appeal within the applicable regulations for reasonable costs for this type of care.
