Negotiating financial aid?

[CheeesyBoi]

Extremely blessed to be in a position to have received a full tuition scholarship to a school I would love to attend. Additionally, I am awaiting a decision on a school that offers full COA. Should I be accepted to this full COA school, would it be wise to negotiate with the school I'd rather attend to see if I can get a full COA scholarship? I don't want to seem ungrateful that I was awarded a full tuition scholarship, but it would also be incredible to get out of school with 0 debt from rent/food/transport/etc.

I don't want to count my chicks before they hatch, but I would like to start thinking about these things earlier than later. If yes, when is the time to start asking about these things?

There’s nothing wrong with asking. But like you said you’re going to be absolutely fine either way. Congratulations!

Thanks! Do you have any insight on how/when to ask about this?

Nah. I'd wait till you actually have the acceptance from the full COA school, I wouldn't bring it up on a hypothetical.
