How do I ask my college for more financial aid without sounding desperate?

Financial Aidfinancial aidcollegemoneyrequests

I’ve been looking at my financial aid package and it just doesn’t cover everything. I’ve heard that it’s okay to ask for more aid, but I don’t really know how to approach this with my college. What’s the best way to ask? Should I include any specific reasons or documents?

Has anyone done this successfully? I really want to make a good case without coming off too pushy.
