<p>If a private school A offers full tuition plus fees as a scholarship ($34K yr) plus a work study of 2.5 k and another competing school B offers a full ride (tuition, fees, room and board) is it appropriate to request an appeal? We have modest means but have saved and are not trying to be greedy. At the same time grad school is on the horizon. Any advice is appreciated. We really like school A better and feel room and board is doable with some loans. Our EFC is 5K.</p>
