Advice on my letter asking for a scholarship?
Posted: Tue Mar 11, 2014 1:42 pm
Hello X,
I hope it is not entirely improper of me to ask, but I recently received a scholarship offer from (Y) in the amount of 36000 dollars in total, as well as a generous offer from (Z) in the amount of 69000 dollars in total. Now, (Y) and (Z) are fine schools, but I personally feel quite strongly that (X) is a school at which I would feel much more at home, and is a school I'm confident would propel me towards my goals. I hope it would not be terribly out of line for me to ask if there is any chance of (X) making a competing scholarship offer? Attending (X) for law school would be a dream come true; the only missing piece before I feel prepared to make my decision is the financials.
Thank you,
