The Procedure for Submitting and Reviewing all Financial Appeals:
An appeal is a formal letter usually submitted by a student or parent addressed to the Financial Appeals Committee and sent directly to:
Robert Gilmore
Director of Financial Aid
Manhattanville College
2900 Purchase Street
Purchase, NY 10577
Robert.Gilmore@mville.edu
- The Director of Financial Aid convenes the Financial Appeals Committee (Director of Residence Life, VP of Enrollment Management, Director of Admissions, Faculty, Retention Coordinator, and Dean of Students).
- When reviewing appeals the Committee takes into consideration a number of factors and, thus, consults with other campus offices as needed (e.g., Academic Advising, Office of Residence Life, Dean of Students). All decisions are made with the student’s overall best interest in mind not only financial.
- The Committee takes all requests very seriously. It conducts a thorough investigation of the facts and assesses academic, social and conduct factors, as well, before rendering a decision. Final decisions rest with the Committee and all decisions are final.
- In certain circumstances a letter of appeal may be re-submitted after one semester if there is any change in financial circumstances or new information comes to light.
- The Committee is not obliged to provide detailed information regarding the reasons for its decisions.
For Assistance
Since many students may need more than one form of financial aid, it is strongly recommended that students contact or visit the Office of Financial Aid to receive guidance on the funds available from various sources.
