Dear Office of Student Financial Assistance,
I am writing to humbly appeal for the reinstatement of my financial aid eligibility at Catholic University under the Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) policy. The weight of circumstances beyond my control has led me to falter in meeting the SAP requirements, and I am compelled to share the profound challenges that have affected my academic journey.
In the period preceding the start of this academic year, I found myself grappling with an immense personal loss that reverberated throughout every facet of my life. The passing of my dear aunt, a pillar of support and affection, unleashed an emotional maelstrom that I was ill-equipped to manage. The relentless onslaught of her battle with cancer and eventual passing left me emotionally battered and my family fractured. Despite my best efforts, I was confronted with overwhelming grief and turmoil, further exacerbated by the geographic separation from my parents who are presently in Ethiopia.

As a first-generation college student, I embarked on this academic endeavor with determination and aspirations for success, but the isolation I experienced became an unexpected adversary. The absence of close friends and a lack of familiar faces to turn to exacerbated my sense of solitude and vulnerability. The weight of these circumstances began to erode my capacity to focus, concentrate, and engage in the rigorous demands of my studies.
Compounding this already difficult situation, I encountered unforeseen difficulties during the semester that further compromised my academic performance. The toll that my emotional burden had taken on my mental health forced me to make the agonizing decision to withdraw from two courses. Despite my fervent desire to persevere, I was compelled to acknowledge that my mental well-being was at risk, making it impossible to maintain the required level of dedication and focus.
In my sincere pursuit of transparency, I proactively sought counsel from the financial aid office, diligently inquiring about the potential repercussions of my decisions. I was assured that my financial aid would remain unaffected, but the intersection of emotional exhaustion and academic uncertainty became a formidable obstacle.
Yet, despite the adversity that has characterized this challenging period, I am resolute in my determination to transcend these trials and emerge stronger. In my pursuit of academic renewal, I have availed myself of vital resources on campus. My academic advisor, Katie, has been a beacon of guidance, illuminating a path forward amidst the darkness. Moreover, I have embarked on a journey of introspection and self-improvement, engaging in counseling sessions with Josef Simpson to restore my mental equilibrium and cultivate resilience.
If granted the privilege of reinstated financial aid eligibility, I commit to harnessing the full spectrum of available resources. I shall continue to fortify my academic foundation through unwavering dedication, harnessing the support of tutoring services, academic workshops, and collaborative study groups. By nurturing mentorship connections and actively engaging with professors and peers, I aim to transform challenges into opportunities for growth.
As I stand at this juncture, I recognize the imperative of aligning my aspirations with the academic progress standards set forth by the University. My objective is not merely to salvage my academic standing but to reignite the spark of curiosity, determination, and focus that has been momentarily dimmed by circumstances beyond my control. By recalibrating my compass and navigating the academic voyage with renewed resilience, I am steadfast in my mission to graduate equipped with knowledge, skills, and an unyielding spirit.
Thank you for your consideration of my appeal. I beseech you to reflect upon the turbulent journey I have traversed, and the unwavering commitment I hold to surmount these challenges. If further documentation or information is required to substantiate my plea, please do not hesitate to reach out to me. I earnestly anticipate a favorable resolution to my appeal, paving the way for the continued pursuit of my educational dreams at Catholic University.
With profound gratitude and hope,
Sincerely,
Bethlehem Student ID: 5206048 Phone: [Your Phone Number] Address: [Your Address] Email: [Your Email Address] Date: [Date]
