What if my circumstances change?
If you experience a change in circumstances -- such as a job
loss, an illness, a divorce, or a death in the family -- contact
your college's financial aid office. They may review your file to
determine whether you qualify for additional financial assistance.
Learn more about special circumstances or
unusual financial
circumstances on the Federal Student Aid
website.
You can find more information for
students with special circumstances or
those experiencing
homelessness at StartWithFAFSA.org.
If you are in repayment on a student loan, you must keep your
lender or servicer aware of any changes in your circumstances,
including job loss, illness, inability to pay, and changes to your
contact information (permanent address or phone number).
If you've accepted federal student loans, log into your Federal Student Aid account to find
contact information for your servicer.
