• The maximum increase is $2,500 or the costs of your computer system, whichever is less.
  • Costs for CPU, monitor, printer, and other reasonable hardware/software will be considered.
• Completion of this form is only a request to increase your financial aid budget. Submission of this form will not result in additional grant/scholarship aid. SFS will notify you of any increased loan eligibility through your financial aid award (not all students will be eligible for additional Federal loan funding).
• Submit your request as soon as possible. Federal Direct loans may not be originated after enrollment falls below half time or at the end of the loan period, whichever is earlier.
• Unless you document extenuating circumstances and financial hardship, your request will not be granted if your budget was increased in a prior academic year for a computer purchase, or if the request is received during your final semester at UVM.
