What is a Professional Judgment?

A Professional Judgment in the Office of Financial Aid at Ole Miss is a case-by-case review where financial aid staff can adjust a student’s FAFSA data or cost of attendance when special circumstances such as loss of income, unexpected expenses, or major life changes impact a family’s financial situation. This process allows the university to provide a more accurate and fair financial aid offer based on current needs.
