Can you negotiate scholarship money? I got a pretty small one and was hoping to get one that covers at least the residual that my GI bill doesn’t cover

Yes, negotiating your financial aid scholarships is definitely a thing. If you’ve been accepted to multiple schools, and have not committed yet, you have more leverage. Regardless, write a short letter to the school explaining why having some more aid would help you

like

I have one acceptance and two waitlists so not too much leverage unfortunately

Well lol, that’s sucks.

Yes, I went from no financial aid to 30k by just pleading my case and explaining why I needed it and why deserved it (accomplishments, test scores etc etc)

Definitely ask; closed mouths don't get fed.

I was just in this position where my school of choice offered me scholaship aid (about 65%). I was able to negotiate by writing a letter explaining why I chose the school/program, emphasize what I bring to the program (experience, past academics, extra-curriculars, etc), what I'll do om my end to proactively alleviate potential loan amount (work study, part time work, external scholarships, etc) and what I would feel comfortable taking out (loan wise) depending on what they offered (I gave them a range). I was about to bring the scholarship support to 90%. The program om in is the only program I chose to apply to but if you have other options (and they have sent their offers), let them know in the letter as well. Hope this helps and good luck!
