Can I ask for more Financial Aid?

<p>Hi, I am currently a freshman in college. Is it possible to ask for more aid like a scholarship if I have a high gpa? I have around a 3.5 gpa as an engineering major.</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>You need to talk to your department-- an advisor, a professor you have from class-- and see if they have any scholarships available to engineering majors. You probably won’t get more aid from the school (which is need-based), but you should be able to find departmental scholarships from your major. The competitiveness and availability of this money depends heavily on your school and the number of other majors at your school.</p>
