Financial Aid Appeal

<p>I received my financial aid package today and I plan to appeal my decision. I wanted to know how effective the appeal is, granted I discuss financial hardship, tragedy, etc. with my supporting documents?</p>

<p>Like what's the most will they bump you up with aid? And/or do they give you more in loans instead of more in grants? Like is that their way of granting the appeal, by tacking on more money in the loans they offer in the award?</p>
