Are scholarship offers negotiable?

I called the scholarships office last year to find out if U MD would consider a larger scholarship and they said, you got what you got, we don’t negotiate and there are never funds left over. Very unfriendly and unpleasant.

That said, I would call if it makes a difference to you, I had very good response with D’s other top choice. Asking her admissions counselor got her another $5K/year - just for the question.

You just never know. More variables in the equation than we can see from our side.
