I work in the Financial Aid Office at Northwestern University. I've seen many of these such letters, and as far as I know there really is no set format. Just state your situation as clearly as you can, citing examples, and be clear about what you want. Also, be very grateful, because often an increased financial aid award means depleting University funds. Simply illustrate, as eloquently and concisely as possible, why you need more aid, and thank them profusely for their help.

Just about any type of Federal financial aid and most private aid can be used to pay for housing (including off-campus).  Most organizations (whether they give scholarships or loans) simply wish for their funds to be used towards "educational costs." For example, at nearly all accredited, "Title IV eligible" schools (i.e. schools eligible to administer Aid like Pell and Stafford, etc.), you will be allowed to obtain financial aid up to your "Cost of Attendance" (COA). Your COA is a specific number determined by the Financial Aid Office that roughly corresponds to your actual educational costs. It may (and often does) include the following items*:\n\n-- tuition & fees\n-- room & board (whether it be on- or off-campus)\n-- a "reasonable amount" for books, supplies (in some cases, a computer), transportation, miscellaneous expenses\n-- dependent care\n-- study abroad expenses\n-- loan fees\n-- employment expenses for co-op study\n\nAs you can see, tuition is only one part of your COA, so you can keep applying for financial aid even once your tuition is covered. For example, say your total COA is $20,000 and your tuition is $10,000. Even if you had received Federal Student Aid in the amount of $10,000, you could still obtain another $10,000 in other types of funding. Try the following scholarship sites:\n\n* http://www.fastweb.com/\n* http://apps.collegeboard.com/cbsearch_ss/welcome.jsp\n* http://www.scholarships101.com/\n* http://www.srnexpress.com/\n* http://www.scholarships.com/\n* http://services.princetonreview.com/default.asp?RUN=%2Fcollege%2Ffinance%2Fscholar%2FscholInterview%2Easp&RCN=auth&RDN=7&ALD=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Eprincetonreview%2Ecom\n* http://www.finaid.org/scholarships\n* http://www.collegeanswer.com/paying/content/pay_free_money.jsp\n\nOr, if you must borrow, try any of the loans on this page:\n\nhttp://www.finaid.org/loans/privatestudentloans.phtml\n\n*There are some things that can't be included in a COA, of course, like deposits and late fees; by the same token, there are things in your COA that aren't usually on your bil, so the two usually balance out nicely.

The college does not take your money, the government takes it and gives it to the agency that has filed a claim against you. If you have received aid for school and did not pay it back, then there you go. It is legal. It is in the fine print when you apply for student loans.

FAFSA and Pell Grant are nationwide. CalGrant is California, but each state has its own grant program. If you're going to a junior college ask a financial couselor if they have a fee waiver, but before they can do ANYTHING you must fill out the FAFSA. If you're going to a 4-year college/university go to financial aid office they can totally get you whatever you need.

Federal financial aid is for US residents and citizens only. Admission has nothing to do with it.Some scholarship or school-based funding can be available to you. You should find out from the school itself about what they can offer.

If you have a federal student loan that is in default, you will be ineligible to obtain any type of federal student aid, including grants.  \n\nOther than that, Federal Student Aid tends to be non-credit-based.  The two major federal student loan programs -- Stafford and Perkins -- require no credit check.  In fact, your Financial Aid office is *prohibited* from checking your credit as a condition for receiving this loan.  Most students are awarded a Stafford loan of some sort -- students who show financial need are awarded a Subsidized Stafford Loan, while no-need students will receive an Unsubsidized Stafford Loan. \n\nFederal, state, and institutional grants/scholarships are also non-credit-based (again, with the one stipulation that you not be in default on any student loans).\n\nNow, there are some types of federal student loans that will subject you to a credit check -- specifically PLUS loans --  though, frankly, these credit checks don't tend to be as deep as others.\n\nIf you wish to borrow a private educational loan (i.e. a loan not offered by the federal gov't, state gov't, or by your school), your credit will also be run.  In these instances, it will generally be required that you have good credit OR, at least, that you have a co-signer who does.
