What it does
Financial Aid Appeal is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Write a financial-aid appeal or scholarship request letter that aid offices act on — factual, documented, and specific about the ask. Use when asked to appeal my financial aid, write a scholarship letter, ask for more aid after circumstances changed, or respond to an aid decision. Produces the appeal letter with the changed-circumstance case documented, the specific dollar ask, the evidence list to attach, and the follow-up plan.
Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/worked-example.md`).
The repository describes itself as: 1255 professional Agent Skills for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor & Codex — PRDs, postmortems, leases, medical bills, layoffs, go-bags, new countries. Plain markdown, MIT, in… The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Asked to appeal my financial aid
- Write a scholarship letter
- Ask for more aid after circumstances changed
- Respond to an aid decision
Example prompts
- “/financial-aid-appeal”

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

- Numbers, then feelings: "household income fell from $84k to $51k in March (termination letter attached)" does what three paragraphs of…

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1cbf1f0. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Financial Aid Appeal loads about 1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 114 tokens; SKILL.md has 550 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

- financial-aid-appeal
- description
- Write a financial-aid appeal or scholarship request letter that aid offices act on — factual, documented, and specific about the ask. Use when asked to appeal my financial aid, write a scholarship letter, ask for more aid after circumstances changed, or respond to an aid decision. Produces the appeal letter with the changed-circumstance case documented, the specific dollar ask, the evidence list to attach, and the follow-up plan.
Financial Aid Appeal Skill
Aid offices don't respond to hardship essays; they respond to documented changes with specific asks. This skill builds the appeal the way an aid officer processes it: what changed, since when, evidenced by what, and exactly how much is being requested. Dignity throughout — facts carry the emotion better than adjectives do.
What This Skill Produces
- The appeal letter — one page: the change, the numbers, the documented evidence, the specific ask
- The evidence checklist — what to attach (and what offices can't act without)
- The ask math — the gap computed, not gestured at
- The follow-up plan — timing, who to contact, and the phrases that keep the file moving
Required Inputs
Ask for these if not provided:
- What changed — job loss, medical costs, family change, competing offer — with dates
- The numbers — original aid, current gap, family contribution then vs now
- Available documentation — termination letters, medical bills, the competing school's offer
- The school and deadline — appeal windows are short and hard
Framework
- Change is the case: appeals succeed on changed circumstances since the original application or information the office didn't have. Establish the change in the first two sentences.
- Numbers, then feelings: "household income fell from $84k to $51k in March (termination letter attached)" does what three paragraphs of worry cannot. One human sentence is allowed; one.
- The specific ask: "an additional $4,500 in grant aid to close the gap shown below" — offices can approve a number; they cannot approve "any help you can offer."
- Competing-offer appeals are legitimate and have their own etiquette: state the offer factually, attach it, express genuine preference for THIS school, never ultimatum.
- Every claim gets a document — undocumentable claims get reframed or cut; unsupported hardship claims damage the documented ones beside them.
Output Format
Financial Aid Appeal: [student, ID] — [school, term]
[Date, aid office address]
Paragraph 1 — the change: what changed and when, in two factual sentences. Paragraph 2 — the numbers: then vs now, the resulting gap, table if clearer. Paragraph 3 — the ask: the specific amount and type (grant vs loan matters — say grant). Paragraph 4 — one human sentence + commitment to the school. Enclosures list: [every document referenced]
Show full SKILL.md (190 more words)Show less
Evidence checklist
[Per claim: the document that proves it, and where to get it if missing]
Follow-up plan
[Confirm receipt at day 3 · polite status check at day 10 · the sentence to use · who escalates if the window nears]
Quality Checks
- The change and its date are in the first two sentences
- Every number has a then/now pair and a document
- The ask is a specific dollar amount and aid type
- One page; one human sentence; zero adjectives doing evidence's job
- The deadline and follow-up dates are real calendar dates
Anti-Patterns
- Do not write a hardship essay — offices process documentation, not narrative
- Do not leave the ask vague — "whatever is possible" is a request for the minimum
- Do not exaggerate or shade the numbers — offices verify, and a caught embellishment ends the appeal and taints the file
- Do not ultimatum with a competing offer — preference plus facts, never threats
- Do not miss the window while polishing — a good letter today beats a perfect one after the deadline
Example Trigger Phrases
- "Appeal my financial aid."
- "Write a scholarship letter."
- "Ask for more aid after circumstances changed."
- "Respond to an aid decision."
