One of my kids goes to a relatively well regarded PA LAC with an automatic merit program which makes it more affordable. The renewable scholarship increased from $30k to $35k in 2019, apparently for incoming students only.

With 3 years to go, an additional $15k over that period would really come in handy, but existing students don’t really have any leverage to speak of. Does anyone think there’s a chance of getting a break on this, either with a polite email inquiry to the financial aid office or via another approach? It’s not like they locked in our tuition for 4 years, so I’m feeling a little burned by this (rightfully or not).
