A phone call to BU would be worth the time. In the past, there have been instances where they have adjusted awards for highly desirable students. I would, however, avoid using the word “negotiate” - and my first call would be the admissions office, explaining that BU is his top choice but he’s being pulled by the other awards. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
