Hey everyone! I was hoping someone could help me out here!
So I was admitted to a school with about a 50% scholarship for the academic year. I sent an email asking for a possible increase in my scholarship and told them about the other amounts other comparable schools gave me. I also spoke about other achievements that I have accomplished since graduating undergrad. They responded pretty much saying they don't know of the available funds they have and also said,
"Unfortunately, after careful review, we regret that the Committee is unable to increase your award at this time. Your request may be revisited in the months before orientation, but only if more funds become available."
That was a little over two months ago. Do I email them back inquiring again? I have more accomplishments since that email that might help my case. Do I just send another email to remind them or just let it be and not bother them anymore. Any advice would be great!

Re: Increasing Scholarship
Yes absolutely ask again. If you want to really have them take you seriously you should mention that you're willing to sit out and retake/reapply (even if you're not going to) so that you have some kind of leverage. Ask as many times as you want. After the first day of school starts you'll never talk to admissions again.
