Petitioning for more merit aid

Not to look a gift horse in the mouth but… Does anyone know if there is a process for seeking a bump in the amount of merit aid Temple has offered? Thinking it might help make for an easier decision to commit.

You can try but I wouldn’t expect anything to happen, they give merit aid solely on gpa and sat

If your child wins a major award or has new test scores to submit there is an appeal form you can fill out. For example: your child wins a Scholastic Gold Key or gets better ACT results after their award is granted. The financial aid award appeal form is somewhere on the website. Better be prepared with specific stuff though. Also, they want your child to write the appeal letter, not you.
