<p>D received a merit award totalling $14K/year! Still need a lot of financial aid to come through, but this is exciting!</p>
<p>I am curious if it is possible to negotiate with the school for additional merit money. As mentioned above, DS received the $10k Centennial award. His grades this year have improved and I would like to see if the school would consider more to aid our decision…thoughts anyone?</p>
<p>bltkmt-- I don’t know anything about Denver’s policy but it doesn’t hurt to ask. For my D’s 1st choice school they matched the merit aid of her second choice school. I never would have thought to ask that, but a friend suggested it was worth checking. We sent a copy of the 2nd schools merit offer to verify. This was several years ago and a different school, but you never know</p>
<p>My first kid got her merit scholarship doubled after emailing a copy of her first semester senior year grades to a school! This was back in 2010. Very possible and it never hurts to ask.</p>
<p>Parent of a Class of 2018 applicant and just home from our DU visit… anxious for that email! 
We were impressed.</p>
<p>so in reviewing these posts, looks like we may hear Monday EA? Any news yet? :)</p>
<p>That is what I was thinking too! I can’t wait!</p>
