War broke out in my country
I just got into Villanova as a transfer international student. I requested no financial aid, simply because I did not need it.
My family was doing pretty well and had a plan to fund my education. Though, a recent war broke out in the Middle East and my family got heavily impacted by it. They can no longer afford the full tuition and have 25-30K saved up to fund my education this year.
I contacted the undergrad admissions office and they sent me to the fin aid office. I put in a request form and am awaiting their response.
Why didn’t I reach out to the AO right when the war happened, I honestly did not think to get in so I applied to my state school I got a scholarship that made my total COA 35k my parents my 30K and I work to fund the rest and planned to go there until today.
How was I impacted? My family’s graveyard quite literally got bombed, our businesses got heavily devalued and we no longer have the cash flow we had.
How cooked am I?
