How can I persuade my college into giving me financial aid?

I will be a freshman at American University in the fall, and they sent me the documentation to apply for institutional aid after the deadline. i sent it that day and they still refuse to grant me a dime of aid for all 4 years. my EFC is only 2413 per year, so i’m screwed. anybody have any tips on how to get them to give me aid? i’ll do anything……i’ll cry, throw a fit, and i’m okay with lying……..what can i do? who can i talk to? by the way, i already am taking out some loans, so don’t suggest that. i need money that i won’t have to pay back.

If your smart, sign up for stuff that gives you scollerships. Its a tad late for signing up now, cause most are taken up by now (took me 1 day to find a spot for my sis)

I can’t say this will work, but hey its worth a try, my family member used it because of the same situation. Write a letter to the dean of admissions telling them your financial need and be able to document the need to the college. They gave my family member the help he needed. Good luck in the future and all your endeavors.
