Student Financial Services - Student Loan Appeals

Offers people who feel their student loan application was not properly assessed according to financial need the chance to appeal the decision. Only appealable expenses will be considered and fall into three general categories:

• Student contribution appeal: You must show that you were unable to save the expected amount from your pre-study work period.
• Parental contribution appeal: Your parent(s) must show they are unable to contribute the expected amount towards your education because of reasons beyond their control.
• Single parent/spousal contribution appeal: Ongoing monthly expenses (e.g. mortgages, loans or utilities) may be considered for married or common-law students.

Non-appealable expenses include things like basic living costs, travel, tuition, books, fees OR if your student costs and educational expenses exceed the maximum loan funding available to all PEI students.
