I think it is fine to ask, but you should wait until you have all the financial award s in. I would contact the Duquesne FA office and ask which award (name? amount?) she received and what it would take to get a higher award - better score, recommendation of an alum/priest/teacher? She might be able to retake the SAT and get more money. Ask if there are other merit awards she could stack with this one. The FA office might have some ideas, and if they know you/she is interested and willing to ‘work’ for more, it can only help your appeal.
