Generally, you have as much leverage with the Financial Aid office as your son's academic numbers convey . College and Universities are about published academic numbers that help them maintain or move up in the marketplace. Yes, some people are going to be awarded money they ordinarily wouldn't get because they asked for it and their son's academic numbers help the school. Some people are not going to be awarded money because they asked for it and the school wants to pass on the students academic numbers. Before asking for academic or financial aid money, do you homework on what your son is bringing to the table. There is a lot a institutional dollars (grants from various sources) that private schools can use at their discretion to incent prospective students. Even very selective schools provide grants. It never hurts to ask, but know where you stand first.
