Section C: Request for Consideration of Special Circumstances

When this form is processed, formulas will be applied which assess how much the parents can contribute and how much the student can contribute. This effective family contribution will be based on parents' and student's income and assets with standard allowances made for other necessary expenses.

Sometimes families have special circumstances which substantially affect their ability to contribute towards educational expenses. Two of the most common special circumstances at Dordt College are tuition paid for other family members at elementary or high schools, and excessive medical/dental expenses. Occasionally other factors may affect the family's contribution, such as: a significant reduction in parental income for the upcoming year, other non-discretionary expenses not mentioned on the form, a higher cost of living than the national average, a significant debt not reported on the form, or a natural disaster. (Special circumstances refer to something unique to your family.)

If you would like to request consideration for special circumstances, please complete the appropriate items below.

Tuition for other children. Indicate the total tuition paid in 2012-13 for children in kindergarten through grade 12: $

Medical/dental expenses not covered by insurance. An allowance will be considered for medical/dental expenses paid in 2012 if, including insurance premiums, they exceed 7.5% of income (Form 1040, Schedule A, line 1): $
