LMU is my top choice and I’ve gotten accepted although, I barely got any financial aid, the total package they gave was around 19,800$.
I am a first generation college student so I do not have much help from my parents about his, so I wanted to ask to you guys, whether or not, there is any possible way to essentially, ask for more money? Do appeal letters or meetings in person make any difference?
Please help!!!
My daughter recieved a merit scholarship and called her admissions counselor. She was able to get an additional $2000 in merit. I don’t know how financial need request would work but I don’t think it hurts to call the financial aid office. Since the sticker price is around $65000, and they only offered $19800, it will be hard to meet that gap. Hopefully there are other more affordable options as a back up for you.
Don’t feel bad my D only got a $2000 Early Action Award last year. Try as I might you can’t get blood from a stone and I was quite unsuccessful getting any merit money out of them.
