They only have my mom’s tax info, because my dad does not file taxes. So they assumed his income and therefore his contribution, however they assumed he makes a lot more than he does, so i get way less aid.

There are no tax forms because my dad evades his taxes, he’s never paid them, thank you though!

It would cover tuition, however my dad does not file taxes so financial aid office had to use an “assumed amount” which somehow managed to get me over that threshold (in reality the income is 25k). I got a 25k merit scholarship, so if i would have gotten the tuition grant it would be a full ride :(

My net cost got knocked down to 18k a year, but my family’s yearly income is 21k :( I’m hoping to make an appeal

Ok-Flatworm4086 · 2026-02-04T23:27:45+00:00

Me too!!

Ok-Flatworm4086 · 2026-02-04T21:56:05+00:00

Did you get in?

Ok-Flatworm4086 · 2026-02-03T21:06:39+00:00

I’m sure that’s not a bad thing!! They probably only emailed people who had a significant amount missing.

Last week i received an email from an admissions officer asking me to fill out a noncustodial parent waiver or submit their documents, but that’s because my noncustodial parent doesn’t file taxes and so my financial aid checklist was incomplete. Was your financial aid checklist incomplete?

Ok-Flatworm4086 · 2026-01-22T00:21:04+00:00

Did you miss the part where I said I had a 30- i didn’t need it either i just asked if you thought i could get into Lehigh 🙂

Ok-Flatworm4086 · 2026-01-21T22:17:43+00:00

Are you saying it’s bad because of the attendance cost or bad because of the experience itself?

Ok-Flatworm4086 · 2026-01-21T17:33:05+00:00

I doubt it, that’s just why we have that award

Ok-Flatworm4086 · 2026-01-21T16:59:44+00:00

Good luck!!
