No. That would be considered merit scholarship money, which is awarded to a fixed number of students. The decisions are final because their pot of money has already been distributed. Some students are able to appeal need based awards by showing awards from peer institutions (as defined by the school, not the student), but that doesn’t apply to you in this situation.
