Increasing merit scholarships

<p>Have any current students been able to get their offered scholarships increased by the school? For example, Drexel has given me $17,000 but others have given me more, so I was hoping I could tell them that and see if they would be willing to increase my scholarship.</p>

<p>Yes, my son did last year. You need to submit the offers from the other schools, and Drexel will reconsider their offer. He got a few thousand more.</p>

<p>i also got $17,000 but if you really would like to go there you can negotiate them into giving you more for having you attend their school… you have to take all the money that other schools are giving you and it helps if they are from larger institutions</p>
