Students may appeal suspension of aid decisions by writing the Director of Financial Aid within two weeks after notice of lost eligibility. Successful appeals will allow the student one additional year of aid eligibility, at which time the student's cumulative record must fully meet the requirements for satisfactory progress. Elmhurst College grants and scholarships apply only to tuition, fees, room, and board. College grant assistance may change if a student receives a grant or scholarship from an outside source. It is the student's responsibility to check with the Office of Financial Aid to determine the impact of an outside grant or scholarship.
Financial aid offered for a particular term applies only for that term.
It cannot carry forward or backward to cover the costs of another term. The College does not credit Federal Work-Study student accounts. Students are paid by check every two weeks. The College is not responsible for programs sponsored by the state or federal governments, particularly in relation to available funds. Elmhurst does not make up for lost government grants resulting from late application.
