# Financial Aid Appeal Skill

Aid offices don't respond to hardship essays; they respond to *documented changes with specific asks*. This skill builds the appeal the way an aid officer processes it: what changed, since when, evidenced by what, and exactly how much is being requested. Dignity throughout — facts carry the emotion better than adjectives do.

## What This Skill Produces

- **The appeal letter** — one page: the change, the numbers, the documented evidence, the specific ask
- **The evidence checklist** — what to attach (and what offices can't act without)
- **The ask math** — the gap computed, not gestured at
- **The follow-up plan** — timing, who to contact, and the phrases that keep the file moving
