How to correctly and politely ask a college for more money

@CourtneyThurston I agree with you.

  1. I only skimmed the thread but I didn't see what major/job OP wanted.
  2. If I were OP, I would have a conversation with the parents and ask " I know you you can pay for Kelley, but if I wanted to go to grad school, would you pay for that too? What about if I went to UC?"

That might change the decision a bit.
