Didn't get the scholarship that I want..Should I call?

Paying for College
1

<p>I want to go to this public college that is really close to home. I received a scholarship from them. It's not the highest, but right below it. I know that scholarships are given based on achievements. Although I don't have the four years to prove it, I do have proof of my potential.
I started high school with regular classes (no IB or AP) and not involved in my extracurricular, but this year (my senior year), I am taking 5 APs (11 total), President for three clubs and on board for two other clubs. I am working two part-time jobs and volunteer to teach piano. I also practice piano two hours every day and have won a district piano competition in 10th grade. I scored a 31 on my ACT (the minimum is 29 for the scholarship that I want). I spend my remaining time I have left to help my mom with chores and preparing dinner. I am also doing research over the summer and have already talked to director of undergraduate research at this school to continue researching when I start there. I am also learning two languages at home, hoping to become fluent by the time I graduate from college. </p>

<p>I do know that they are limited to the number of scholarships given and they won't give it based on pity, but I still want to try. Will you please give me your inputs?</p>

<p>Anyone? Please? I’ve been thinking about this for a couple of days now. </p>

<p>Depends if they already had all the above info when they awarded the scholarship or if this is all new info…if they had it, then you got what they deemed appropriate relative to others; if this is new then perhaps you could ask for a new review… Good luck!
(I really doubt they award $$ based on potential.)</p>

<p>Ok…you’re going to have to sell yourself to the scholarships director or enrollment manager.</p>

<p>What can you offer?</p>

<p>Are you a female going into a largely male field?
What is your GPA?
would you promise to enroll if offered that bigger merit?</p>
