Letter of Appeal
I am studying to become a Licensed Practical Nurse. I am writing to appeal for my financial aid. I feel a letter was proper because of certain circumstances that occurred during my life that contributed to me withdrawing from Psychology, College prep writing, college prep arithmetic and failing PRN 0374. I began attending Miami Dade College in the fall of August 2006 right after I graduated from high school. I enrolled in several courses which were Psychology, College prep writing and College prep arithmetic. In October 2006 I found out I was pregnant with my daughter Jada. After finding out I was pregnant one month later I began getting really sick with morning sickness. My morning sickness lasted until my fifth month of pregnancy, second trimester. I did my very best in attending classes but it was very hard for me to stay in class and enrolled in school. I would get very nauseous for any little thing rather it is for the scent of someone’s fragrance or the smell of food. I would get really nauseous and have to run out of class to go vomit, with the nausea my mouth would get filled up with saliva, because of that I would have to carry around a close sealed cup just so I can empty my mouth from all the saliva.
Due to my morning sickness I had a hard time participating in class. It was hard for me to continue coming to class so I decided to withdraw from my classes. This is not a decision I wanted to make but I could not find any other way to deal with my morning sickness and being that it was my first time being pregnant I did not know how to handle the situation. Today my daughter is four years old and I am trying my very best to give her a good future by finishing what I’ve started which is going back to school to become a nurse. It would really mean so much to me if you can reinstate my financial aid. Being a single mother it is really hard to do anything in this world without a college degree or a good occupation. Working as a front desk agent overnight,

    I am an international student, so a main finance for my education is from my parents (they have their business in hometown). My parents paid for my whole tuition is around $ 5,550.00 per semester. When I received the scholarship from GPC (before merging to GSU) $ 3,027. 00 per semester because I have good grades (GPA over 3.5), my parents only paid around $ 2,500 per semester and plus $300 per month for reting a room. However, after merging into GSU, I do not have the scholarship any more. My parents have to pay again whole tuition $ 5,550.00 per semester and plus $ 300 rent fee per month. It is a big amount to my parents. Now, my parents' business is not good as before because the economic in Viet Nam is slow down. Furthermore, due to I am an international student, I am only allowed to worked on campus with maximum 20 hours per week. I could not work outside because it is illegal and I need to focus on studying full time at school. With the salary from part time job at school, it is fixed for my daily expenses and textbooks. That is a main reason I am writing this letter to apply this scholarship. I am sure with this scholarship can help me and my parents so much.…

    After having my son, my body was still trying cope itself to having to care for a “c-section” and a newborn even though it was like at least a month or two after being at the hospital. I just really wasn’t applying myself like I should’ve been for the semester. I wasn’t ready to come back to school, but I didn’t want to get behind anymore than I was already. Also, in April, after my recovery weeks, I started a new job at Target and I would get off, go home, and take care of my son and just would be too exhausted to attend class the next day. Therefore, for that being done I was buried even more for being on the edge of academic…

    Today I received a message in my student email about my academic progress. I was denied Financial Aid due to my poor academic performance my 2015-2016 semester at Mesa Community College. The reason for not meeting academic requirements the previous semester was because of my lack of organization with working, sports, and studying. I take full responsibility in not putting my academics before sports and work leading me to write this letter. I truly believed I could juggle working 20 hours a week as a swim instructor and also be a student-athlete for Mesa Community College while maintaining strong grades. I soon found myself struggling in classes and doing poorly on exams because I was not using my time correctly and pushing my school work to the side. In high school I worked as a swim instructor and ran cross country as I am now, I put little effort into studying and did what I had to do to get by. Those poor habits followed me into college and are now backfiring with proof through my GPA.…

Beyond all the hardships of academics, I was also going to have to pay for all of education by myself, because my parents could not afford it.

However, despite my finical struggle I decide to continue my education and apply for college. I applied to Rockland Community College, where I wanted to work on increasing my GPA.…

    This letter is written in an attempt to appeal my academic suspension and grant me another chance to receive financial aid to allow me to continue my education towards my degree in nursing. On May 6, 2012 I faxed over my appeal to financial aid for the fall 2012 semester at Capital Community College which was denied. During the 2010- 2011 school year my grades were poor and I received a letter by mail stating that I was dismissed due to my academic progress & a low GPA. The cause is no less than my own fault, but I believe the circumstances I faced led my focus away from my education.…

    Appeals Process

    What is an appeal? An appeal is a “proceeding in which a case is brought before a higher court for a review of a lower court’s judgment” (pg. 465). This basically means a process which takes place because the defendant and their attorney feel that the verdict that was given was inaccurate which was due to something that may have happened during trial or the arrest. Appeals are done to make sure that the person has had a fair trial and none of their rights were violated. An appellate court as the text states can help an area decided on how to address certain issues. This is good because the appellate court judges can make a decision without having to worry about what society will think and if they will get reelected. An appellate court goes through cases and tries to understand what has taken place during the arrest and see if the law was upheld. An appeals process starts right after the trial, the defense must submit an appeal to the court. The person appealing should file all documents with the appellate court. The will then file briefs and the court will later hear each sides argument and decide/ once the decision is made the courts will announce their findings and why. An appellate court is based on the law not on any facts so a defense attorney cannot argue the facts presented during the case or that you were found guilty and you believe you are innocent. Your appeal should consist of the fairness for example if you had the right to a speedy trial or a defense attorney etc.…

    Appeal Process

    October 26, 2014 Appeal Process Paper When any defendant is found guilty, of any charge, is entitled to an appeal to at least one level of appellate court (Meyer, J Grant, D. 2003). An appeal is when a defendant has already been found guilty in court, and they decide to take it to a higher court in order to change the ruling (Meyer, J Grant, D. 2003). Basically it is a process that takes place, because the defendant and their attorney do not feel that the verdict given was accurate and that could be due to many different reasons. Appeals ensure that there was a fair trial given and no rights were violated (Meyer, J Grant, D. 2003). The appeal process begins very shortly after the trial, when the defense sends an appeal to the court. Appeals factor in to the overall criminal justice process, because in the end they can change laws or amendments. The Miranda rights are a great example of this. They came about after someone went back and challenged the court. It was then that the Miranda rights became part of the law and the criminal justice process. Just because a criminal goes to court and is decided guilty and is charged with whatever he/she was being charged with, does not mean that the process is over and he/she accepts the sentence and it is done. The defendant may decide something went wrong or he/she has a way of proving their innocence. Then they will submit an appeal and may ended up getting out of the original sentence given. This completely changes up the criminal procedures and processes. Based on my review of the appeal courts results in New Jersey, I think that the current appeals process is very effective. As per New Jersey Judiciary annual Report 2011- 2012 (n.d.), 6,461 appeals were received and 6,159 of those appeals have been decided. (Appellate Division of Superior Court). Mostly everyone appeal submitted to the New Jersey Appellate Courts has been resolved, therefore showing that the defendants are given a chance to have their case heard once…

    I, Kourtney Brooks, am writing to you in hopes that the decision of me being ineligible for financial aid due to not maintaining a cumulative GPA of 2.0 can be appealed due to extenuating circumstances. Entering into the spring semester, due to my performance in the Fall I knew there was a lot of work to be done. In the Fall, after being out of college for a few years I had to get acclimated to working and going to school full time, not to mention online schooling, which is something I hadn’t experienced before, but due to having to work to take care of myself I made the decision to try it because I know in order to truly excel in life I have to further my education. Nonetheless, I went into the spring semester a stronger student due to the mistakes in the semester that instilled the strength and…

    In May of 2007 I enrolled in ITT Technical Institute with every intention on graduating with an AAS in Computer Drafting and Design. I successfully completed my first semester with a 4.0GPA and perfect attendance. About 2 to 3 weeks into my second semester my mother became very ill unto death (September 16th, 2007). The demands from my mother’s illness took a major toll on me emotionally and I was unable to adequately focus on my academics. My mother was a single parent and I was an only child and because I lived with her and had no other means of residence I felt reluctant to stop attending school and start working.…
