If Belmont only gave you need aid and Loyola gave you merit, you are comparing apples to oranges.

Unfortunately, your daughter was not eligible for merit at Belmont

The best bet is to wait to see what need based aid you are getting from Loyola (if you are expecting 15k and you get it then you got the same amount of need based aid from both schools, making no basis for an appeal)
