| Need advice, I lost my university financial aid because of depression? I lost my mother, father, grandmother, grandfather all within the past 4 years, and I have been very depressed. I have done bad in school and now my financial aid has been suspended. I wrote my university appealing there decision and I told them I was seeing a therapist (which I never got around to doing) to deal with my depression. Now my university has sent me a letter back saying before they can make a decision to reinstate my financial aid they need additional information. They are asking for proof that I am seeing a therapist and want a letter from my therapist on their letterhead and for them to state the dates as to when I began seeing them and if I am currently seeing them. So I am in a hard spot because I have not actually seen a therapist yet, and the only way I can get my financial aid back is if I show proof that I have been. If I start seeing one now and have a therapist send my university a letter, my school will know I was lying about seeing a therapist.
Thanks
Yes, I am considering just going to see one now...and having them send a letter to my school. But when I wrote the Appeal at the beginning of July 2008 I said that I was seeing a therapist (they ask you how you will ensure you'll do good in school if they reinstate your F.A) to deal with my depression. And I honestly planned on seeing one, I just haven't had the time. Now I will look like a liar, if I see one now. |
