Like the student in the story? No sibling in college? Parent income increased? Assets increased substantially? Income went over the threshold for higher need based aid?

Did you get a special circumstances consideration that didn’t apply in subsequent years?

You don’t have to tell here…but as in the story linked above, there is usually a reason for increased family contribution at a college that meets full need.

But this is getting very off topic, so I won’t be continuing this discussion.

To the OP….you have received some excellent suggestions. This student has good stats and should be able to land a decent merit award someplace.
