Section 1
The premise
Aid appeals work when they are specific, documented, and respectful. AI helps with structure and tone; you bring the truth.
What AI does well here
- Structure the appeal with the standard sections (situation, change, impact, request)
- Suggest documentation to attach for each claim
- Draft respectful, non-demanding tone variants
- Generate a follow-up email template if the office goes silent
What AI cannot do
- Predict whether the appeal will be granted
- Replace the financial aid officer's discretion (professional judgment)
- Verify your numbers (always double-check before sending)
- Decide which family details are appropriate to share
