Could an admissions counselor help me get more money?

Paying for College
1

<p>I need about $10,000 in order to go to one of the schools that I really like that I’ve been accepted to. My family has said that if I get $5,000 in scholarships or come up with the money somehow, they’ll pay the other half.</p>

<p>Someone recommended contacting my admissions counselor who might be able to help me connect with the financial aid/scholarship office to see if there’s anything else I could do to get more money to attend their school.</p>

<p>Could an admissions counselor actually help me with this or would I just be wasting my time?</p>

<p>Sometimes this strategy can work (more likely at a private school that really wants you). Often, it does not. The only way to know is to try … the worst they can do is say no.</p>
