But if seriously there is good episode of a podcast on the topic "Negotiating Law School Scholarships":"... it’s time to negotiate. But how? Do you leverage your safety schools against your reach schools? When do you approach the subject? How do you ask for more money? The guys go deep on scholarship negotiation. They offer their thoughts on when to start negotiating, how best to ask for more money, and when (or if) you should consider the deal closed."

I used to think it was rude to ask for more money, until I found out that money was being spent anyways. Some scholarships have money that they NEED to give out, otherwise it goes away. If you can get past the pride, you would be surprised in what you might find if you just ask.

As far as being polite, well, that's at your discretion. You can approach it like a scene out of The Godfather, or Oliver Twist. At the end of the day, you need money to support your education. That's nothing short of noble that any respectable person should understand given today's economy.
