We Negotiated $14,000 More in Aid — It Changed Everything
After our daughter’s top choice offered only $12,000 in aid on a $58,000 package, we wrote a polite but detailed appeal letter explaining our changed financial situation and her strong qualifications.
To our surprise, they increased the aid by $14,000. That single letter saved us tens of thousands.
Never be afraid to respectfully ask for more aid. The worst they can say is no.
