Take This Month's Financial Aid Poll: Students' Views on Money for College

Often, scholarship advisors suggest that students who receive financial aid packages from their colleges should try to negotiate for more money. Some students say this works. Others don't. How about you? Have you received a student aid package from you college? Did you try to negotiate an increase? Were you ever successful? Or, were you unaware that negotiating was even a possibility? This poll is set up so you can only vote once. NOTE: After voting on this poll, you might also be interested in voting in our previous polls. For a list of those, scroll down the page.
