Any tips for scholarship increase?
Didn't see a sticky in this section. I'm not a good negotiator, and I dislike asking for money. I've got over 50% scholarship going into my 2L year. The school "automatically considers" current students in the top 25% for more $, I got that covered BUT, it says if they received little or no $ to begin with. I already sent a feeler email, and they just reiterated the standard auto consideration line. I don't want to transfer since I'm pretty good as far as class rank goes. I've heard Time Information and Power are key to negotiations, but students are fungible, so what leverage can I have to bargain with for more $?

Apply for transfer anyways and use that as leverage.onewhiteword wrote:Didn't see a sticky in this section. I'm not a good negotiator, and I dislike asking for money.
