<p>I'm currently getting around 35k in grants.</p>
<p>Is it selfish to ask if there is any way I could receive like 1-3k more in the form of a grant?</p>
<p>i mean if you really need it then try. i mean my mom wrote them a letter, which got me about 600 more dollars a year. not much but something...</p>
<p>600 is better than nothing; I'll try it.</p>
<p>How did your mom convince them?</p>
<p>she wrote a letter (i never read it, but it sounded kinda heartwrenching) about my stepdad's MS and how much medication costs.</p>
