<p>Yes, it is that time to wrap up the college decision process with financial talk.</p>
<p>My question is:
How do I ask my financial aid advisers for a better financial aid package in the most optimum way? </p>
<p>I have never done this so I (as well as many others) will be completely new at this.</p>
<p>ANY and ALL Help will be awesome!!
THANKSS</p>
<p>I just sent a casual email first to my school’s FA office to see if it was even possible. I basically just told them that I was really interested in attending their school, but the cost is holding me back. Is there any way my FA could be increased? … something along those lines.</p>
<p>They emailed me back and told me that unless my FAFSA/CSS was wrong, it wasn’t likely to be changed. Unless there are new circumstances or something.</p>
<p>I am sure this is the standard email they send to anyone who asks this question.</p>
<p>Basically: we have to present new information.</p>
<p>I have also heard of some students asking schools to match scholarships.</p>
