Clarkson College Financial Aid counselors have the ability to use professional judgment to adjust the cost of attendance or financial aid award package to reflect a student’s special or unusual circumstance. Students have the right to request a special circumstance appeal on a case-by-case basis. A special circumstance may consist of an extenuating life event that places additional financial responsibility on the student. Please contact a Clarkson College Financial Aid counselor in order to receive information on what documentation will be needed.
