Asking a college for more money!Answered
The college that I want to go to offered me a good amount of money but the amount of money that I would be required to pay is still too much for me and my family. So, I sent an email to a financial aid officer at the school, and I also emailed the admissions office. Do you think that is enough? Should I also call the admissions office or the financial aid office?
I am worried that maybe no one will see my email in time for the decision deadline, and this is the only college that I want to go to. What should I do?
(I was also in contact with an admissions officer before I applied to the school, and I have contacted him a few times relating to the school and my interest in it. Should I also email him my financial aid appeal letter?)
If you have tips on asking for more money, please let me know!!

Hello! Congratulations on your acceptance to college. I would definitely suggest calling financial aid as that shows you have a high interest in attending and only thing preventing you is financial circumstances. Visit the university and let them know your circumstances as well if possible and lastly spend your whole summer applying to local scholarships
