I recommend trying to be a tad more aggressive in justifying why you need/ deserve the financial aid. Is there a concern you will not be able to pay back the existing debt?

It's more like he couldn't even meet his current needs, from the sound of it (in addition to racking up more debt as an out-of-state student, but that's a less immediate concern than eating and stuff).

If I had a job right now I might be able to swing it, but loleconomy. not to mention that holding down a job while doing a full time engineering curriculum is not a recipe for the kind of grades I want. TLDR: maybe your version is accurate after all....
Like, I don't know if this is universal, but in my experience they offer about 2/3 of your total estimated financial need for the year in federal loans. I'm not sure how they think you'll cover the difference, but that's your problem, I guess.

Lay it on real thick. You were diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, gout, a bladder infection, Crohn's Disease, cancer of the epiglottis and leprosy all in the same day.

You used Meister's appeal, right? That one was the most convincing one. It's nice to see your appeal worked.

Yeah, that was in the response he gave me. Perhaps I didn't need to worry so much about my run-ons...

Writing Your draft was actually pretty good, but still.
First thing first: Woooooo!

Maybe...but on the other hand, I figure writing an appeal like that is like showing up to a court hearing, or a job interview: You (represented, in this case, by your text) want to look your best, and the little details matter.

I bet that for each appeal that dude gets that looks like yours, he gets half a dozen that are the grammatical equivalent of turning up in a stained Def Leppard t-shirt, ripped and baggy jeans and cheap dollar-store flip-flops on dirt-crusted feet.

Of course, now that you've secured your future as a student:
