Sometimes illnesses or hospitalization may create a difference in your grades. Seeing your falling grades, the university may decide to withdraw the financial aid. Such type of reaction may hamper your education and you will not be able to continue it further. If you want your aid to be reinstated, write an appeal letter. The only condition applicable for reinstatement is improvement in your grades. Since you cannot force the generosity upon you, you have to be honest in explaining how important is the aid for you, and how it is going to help you in accomplishing your goals.

James Michael Holdings February 14, 2014 Alexander E. Drummond Sub: Appeal against the suspension of financial aid Dear Mr. Drummond, I am a student of your university pursuing my final year in bachelor of science. I am the beneficiary of financial aid. This aid has helped me a lot in completing my previous years' studies in flying colors. I got to know through a letter from your department that this aid has been suspended due to my poor attendance. I understand that aid is only meant for students who have the caliber, but couldn't pursue their studies due to poor financial condition. I respect this thought very much. At the same time, I would like to present my side of the story for explaining why I didn't score good grades. Just a month before the exam, I met with an accident and was hospitalized for 10 days. My doctor advised me complete bed rest for three weeks. As a result, I couldn't attend the classes and hence the aid was suspended. I asked my friend to pass on the accident message to the respective department. But I guess he failed to do so, or was not aware how his negligence would affect me. I hope you can understand the situation I have been through. Hence, I request you to withdraw the suspension of my financial aid as my future depends on it. I assure you that I will study for extra hours and make good for the missing classes. I can produce the hospital discharge and doctor's certificate for your reference. Yours sincerely, James Michael Holdings |
This is one way to write an appeal letter for the suspension of the financial aid. You can pick up some of the sentences from this letter while drafting your appeal letter. Such a neatly put case makes things easier for the sender and difficult to refute for the recipient.
