rutgers merit scholarship appeal

yo guys,

so I got into the honors college for both SAS and RBS, but only got the presidential scholarship for the former and the trustee + henry rutgers scholarships for the latter. I think that with a state school it makes more sense to major in something quant-related like finance, so I’d rather go to the business school rather than to SAS for econ, but I also really need the extra money from SAS.

has anybody ever successfully appealed a merit scholarship? my counselor told me that he thinks it would be a ‘small upgrade’ for them to give me the presidential at RBS if I talk to them, but I know it’s really competitive so I’m not sure he’s right. also, would it be possible to loophole around this by double-majoring in econ+finance from SAS?

thanks in advance

Yeah, just submit a scholarship appeal on the financial aid website. I got pres from SAS but trustee from engineering so I filled it out and then they gave me pres for engineering too. I ended up enrolling in SAS anyway but definitely possible.

Where did you find the scholarship appeal form?
