<p>Hi, i have already been accepted to the university of michigan, where i will be attending next year. Therefore, i have already paid my enrollment deposit. Since the school knows that i will be attending there, will it hurt my chances to recieve an sort of merit scholarships?</p>
<p>You can check with the Michigan financial aid office to see if you need to do anything to be considered for merit awards. Your leverage in negotating is obviously low at this point, but a school like Michigan is probably relatively formulaic in merit awards.</p>
<p>In the meantime, you might check other scholarships that you might be able to apply for. Scholarships in your local area (city, county, state) are probably less competitive, though it's worth checking sites like Fastweb to see if you qualify for any programs based on major, ethnicity, etc.</p>
