If you are in the midst of trying to decide which college to attend, and which financial aid offer to accept, you might want to follow this blog post over the next several days. Financial aid and admissions experts will be answering questions, including this one on "how final is a college's financial aid offer?"
I would say it never hurts to call a school's financial aid office and ask. Make sure they know you and your daughter are willing to do whatever you can. For example, are there additional scholarships your daughter can apply for? Personally, I think it also helps to have a specific amount in mind (and don't ask for the moon!). They may still tell you no, but as I said, it never hurts to ask.
