Natural disasters and community tragedies Natural disasters and tragedies impacting communities have become all too frequent. We know that the impact on a student’s ability to be successful in school, remain involved in their community and continue with their college search and application process can be both immediate and long-lasting.
If you were impacted in such a way, please note the following:
- For students impacted within the year of their application, priority deadlines have no bearing on the opportunity for admission, scholarship and financial aid. A student will not be penalized in consideration for opportunities, unless tied to a specific event that has passed.
- Applications are reviewed when all required materials have been received. Students with required items not received will have their application closed administratively at the end of the cycle. We do not consider incomplete applications to have been denied admission.
- Students should utilize the Additional Information section of the , or provide a supplemental statement via email to admission@linfield.edu regarding any impacts that a disaster or tragedy have had on their educational progression.
- If you do not believe the FAFSA represents your financial situation accurately due to recent changes in family income, contact the Office of Financial Aid to discuss your circumstances.
