Negotiating Travel Stipends?

Just wondering if anyone has any success negotiating travel stipends for ASWs. I'm from British Columbia (and thus far away from any school outside of WA), and the $150-200 stipends will not cover anything close to the cost of travel to some schools I would like to visit (Chicago, Denver, and San Francisco for example).

I've had success receiving one from Notre Dame. They are covering me up to $500. I would write a letter to admissions expressing your interest in visiting and your meager finances.

Indiana Maurer originally offered to pay $350 for flight and $120 for hotel. I wrote to them and explained how expensive it would be for me to fly from where I live in Georgia and they completely took the reimbursement cap off for me.
