The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) does not provide families with a place to explain special circumstances affecting their ability to pay for the student's education. 联邦需求分析方法(FM), 计算一个家庭的估计家庭贡献, 是一个没有例外规定的严格公式吗. 为了解决这个问题, Congress has delegated to the school's financial aid administrator(s) the authority to compensate for special circumstances on a case-by-case basis with adequate documentation. This authority is often referred to as a financial aid administrator's ability to make a "Professional Judgment."
