Greetings,

Our son wants to major in Journalism and has been accepted into some top journalism programs. We are not eligible for financial aid and his first choice school offered a merit award that was considerably lower than one university and a bit lower than another. Is it appropriate to contact the top choice school to see if additional merit funding is available given these other awards? Any tips or pointers on having the conversation? Thanks…
