Definitely worth a shot. What do you have to lose?
Two years ago, my DD was offered a merit scholarship to her school as an incoming freshman. I don’t qualify for FinAid, but I wrote an email thanking them for their generous offer, explained what a huge impact it had on our entire family, and told them how great they were. Then I asked for more money and they came up with several thousand more.
Your stats are much better than my DD’s, so I say send them an email!
