You can appeal your status to your financial aid office, but they usually only grant the appeal in extenuating circumstances (like an incarcerated parent for example). Given your father’s refusal to provide his necessary information, you could see if they would consider reviewing your request if you can prove what you have done to get his information.

Talk to a financial aid officer at your school for further guidance. Good luck!

Also, you dismissed providing your mom’s income “b/c she is unemployed”. Why not provide her income? If she was unemployed in 2006 then that’s BETTER for you!!! Find out if she did taxes for 06 and use them if your dad won’t give up his. Usually though, the student uses the parent who provided the most support the most recently… but something to think about.

Good Luck.
