Possible to negotiate need based aid?
I just received a very small need based scholly fro my school but my parent makes 40K and I have 0 in the bank and living off of loans. I expected at least 5 or so K. I assume these aids are not negotiable. Am I wrong?

Yes you are. EVERYTHING is negotiable. Ask your school. If they say no, they say no. But it can't hurt to ask, especially if you have any kind of leverage.BarbellDreams wrote:I just received a very small need based scholly fro my school but my parent makes 40K and I have 0 in the bank and living off of loans.

It is very possible to negotiate, and their are dozens (maybe hundreds) of threads that deal with this topic in some form or another.
