FinAid award: Can I contest?

<p>Hello everyone,</p>

<p>I just received my financial aid award and I am really disappointed in the award (like most people). However, I feel that I was unfairly awarded a low amount of gift aid. My brother goes to the same school and is getting a significantly higher amount of aid. Is it possible to contest the amount of gift aid I have been awarded with the financial aid office? </p>

<p>Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you</p>
