Yes they are and don't be afraid to ask !!!!!
6 years ago my daugheter was entering college and was a top applicant
to the college she wanted to attend. The school gave her a 50% merit
scholarship (abount $10,000 a year x 4). I had several discussions
with the schools FAO and asked for an increase several times. He
polietly said no. I wrote a letter to the President of the University
and laid out my case. The FAO called back a few weeks later and
increased the offer by $10,000 ($2,500 per year). He asked why she
deserved more than other equally qualified applicants. My answer - I
asked, they didn't. The worst that can happen is that they say no.
In that case, you have not lost a thing since you didn't have it
anyway. Some people would be embarresed - for $10,000 you can color
me red.
