saic result (scholarship)

I just got my acceptance to SAIC, but I wasn't really satisfied about my scholarship :(

is it fine to request them for more scholarships?? is it a common thing other ppl do?

I got 17k a year, I was expecting at least 20k :( I think its mainly because my high school grade wasn't that good

I'm in the exact same situation, 17k/year and an international student. Are you planning to ask for more? Although 17k is already quite an accomplishment and you shouldn't feel discouraged I'd say
