<p>Quick and over-answered question, I'm sure, so my apologies. Is it possible to negotiate needbased aid with a school? Can I fax a package from one school and say will you match the grant? If so, how is it done?</p>
<p>Yes, you can negotiate need based aid. You can call and ask what the best way is for them to review your financial aid. I know one person that wrote a letter to Northwestern explaining their situation and they adjusted the financial aid. Also, a better financial aid offer from another school may help, especially if both schools compete for the same students.</p>
<p>Take things into your own hands... and don't be pushy. Good luck!</p>
