You can try, but don’t expect much, if anything. Merit awards are used as an enticement to students who they want to poach from other schools. The general “rule” is that the more selective the school is, the less likely a student is to get merit, and/or the fewer merit awards the school is likely to offer.

As far as showing this school merit awards from other schools, they are not likely to find that persuasive, but maybe if the other schools are of equal caliber to the one in question, maybe they will consider it. If the other schools are not at the same level, there isn’t much incentive for the top choice school to offer merit to your child.
