Asking for more money?

Just to clarify, your financial aid estimate is given to the school by the government. NU is not going to give you more money than this estimate, and some of the time they don’t even award the estimate. If you are looking for scholarship money, a simple email will certainly not suffice. Scholarships usually are given out to the best students or applied for by students meeting certain criteria. I personally don’t think there is necessarily any harm in asking for more money because I doubt that they would retract your offer of admission for just that, but I do think it is futile.
