Hi! If an accepted student received some merit money ($5K a year), will it be possible to request more? What are the odds of additional money? 1320 SAT, 3.8 WGPA, 3.3 UWGPA. Accepted to sports management.
They are not going to change your merit award. Maybe you will qualify for some need-based aid? Those packages come put much later.
I know that my friend (IS) intially received $8,000 and checked the letter again a different day to see the merit scholarship was raised to $10,000. But he never requested for more
My son was accepted to the honors program last year and awarded a $9k/yr merit scholarship. We wrote to request additional funding to be competitive with other offers but Temple declined saying they don’t reconsider scholarship awards. He chose another school and never looked back. Unfortunate because we liked Temple.
If you already got merit, they probably won’t raise it. However, last year I got no merit from Temple and sent a letter to the Director of Undergraduate Admissions (Karin W. Mormando). I ended up getting $2K a year in merit after sending that letter. It may be worth a shot. Here is the mailing address:
