Institutional Aid Appeal Form

Before starting this form, please visit the Institutional Aid Appeal page for an overview of the process and answers to frequently asked questions.

Every effort is made to assist students who demonstrate financial need. The majority of students, even with a successful appeal, find it necessary to utilize multiple forms of funding to meet their costs. Please develop a sound financial plan that you can implement regardless of the outcome of your appeal, and please do not rely on the results of an appeal before deciding to move forward with enrolling at Berklee.

*Only accepted or currently enrolled students may submit an appeal.

Note that Berklee Online students with a completed FAFSA on file can submit this form to have their special or unique circumstances considered for Federal Student Aid, but are not eligible to appeal for Berklee institutional funding.

Are you submitting supporting documents?

Please do not upload tax or other documents that contain your social security number. If you have sensitive documents, please instead upload them to our secure DropBox.

I understand that completing an appeal does not guarantee financial aid will be increased and my financial obligations remain due according to payment deadlines. Submitting an appeal does not grant me extended time to meet my financial obligations to the college, and failure to meet my financial obligations may result in loss of housing assignments, my schedule, and my ability to enroll in the semester.

I confirm I understand the above statement.
