I'm generalizing but at most HA D3's the coaches have little to no pull with the Financial Aid office. We get hosed because sons school also looks at the equity in our home...totally screws our numbers up. We were able to get a little extra by appealing the award his Frosh year. Soph year was COVID and they reduced the amount significantly. This year the cost has gone up substantially and it doesn't appear they are going to budge. In our case though its basically a wash between last year and this year.

Basically, work directly with FA. And if you can find a way to add some easy debt, that helps. There are also creative ways to remove equity from your home.
