Loss of Wages Statement  

The Loss of Wages/Employment Statement is used to show a family's actual and anticipated income for the calendar year when one or both parents have experienced a reduction in wages and/or are currently unemployed. Completion of this form will be requested by the Financial Aid Office if a family is appealing their financial aid decision due to a recent loss of employment or reduction of income, or if additional information is needed to thoroughly review an initial application.

Please note that a family only needs to file this form if specifically requested by our office. If one of the questions is not applicable, please put an "N/A" where appropriate. We encourage you to write a letter elaborating on your circumstances and attach it to this form along with the following required documentation:

  •  Termination letter or letter verifying reduction in salary
  •  Documentation of severance package and accrued vacation/sick days (if applicable)
  •  Documentation of unemployment benefits received
  •  Last paycheck stub showing year-to-date earnings (for both parents)
  •  Parental Monthly Expense Statement

Please mail the completed form and supporting documentation to the Office of Financial Aid. This form will not be accepted by fax or e-mail. For more information regarding submitting an appeal, please consult the section on Appealing an Aid Decision.
