Top Law Schools

What's the consensus best practice for asking a school for a particular amount of money? I realize I shouldn't sound entitled or like I'm presenting an ultimatum, and that generally this is a last resort after using other leverage.

But basically, is there a tactful way/is it advisable to say: With a scholarship amount of X, I will definitely attend Z Law School.

?

Without scholarship amount of x, I will not attend your school.

That should get the point across.
