If you have questions about your award or feel your individual circumstances have not been given adequate consideration, you are encouraged to discuss your concerns with the Financial Aid Counselor first. If the two of you do not reach an agreement, you may meet with the Director of Financial Aid. If that also proves unsatisfactory, a meeting can be arranged with the Director of Financial Aid, the Assistant Dead for Student Affairs, and the Senior Associate Dean for Medical Education and Student Services.
