You can submit a request to have your financial aid award reconsidered for one of the following reasons:

• Your family’s financial circumstances have changed since you originally submitted the financial aid application.
• Your family’s financial circumstances are complex in nature, and you would like us to re-review the file with new information or clarification not previously submitted.

As appeals vary, and can be sensitive in nature, we recommend that you contact our office and speak with a financial aid officer prior to submitting a request. All requests for reconsideration should be submitted via e-mail to ugrad-finaid@columbia.edu.
