OOS from Missouri and only received the Purple and Gold scholarship for 5500 a year. I would need a lot more to be able to attend UW.
My parents are divorced and my mom does not receive child support from my dad. He has cancer which is preventing him from working. My mom does not make enough in a year to cover even a year’s tuition (after the scholarship) at UW.
That being said, anyone know about asking for more financial aid? If I send an appeal, would they be able to offer me any more FA? I know UW is stingy as it is, but this is my top choice. If I express that in an email or letter and explain my situation further, do you think I would be awarded more aid? Any help or advice is appreciated.
