Is there a way for you to appeal how much merit money you get or possibly get more? I was recently named a national merit finalist and was wondering if Case gives more money for that?
No, Case doesn’t negotiate with scholarships.
It might be worth an email to ask in your case, since you have a recent award. But probably not.
I did talk to admission and they told me they would re-evaluate your scholarship level if there was a major change to your admissions information. I would ask.
@NYUndecided what would be a major change???
I think a major change for merit purposes would have to be something pretty incredible, like performing at Carnegie Hall or a new perfect SAT score. For need-based purposes, something like a parental job loss would undoubtedly draw their attention.
