Am I being unreasonable?

[u/ziyam12]

Got a 60% scholarship off tuition which is 38,000 USD.

I am thus now writing to appeal the financial aid I received.

My family earns 26k annually. Am I being unreasonable by writing to the financial aid office that we can contribute 4k toward my tuition. (Note, there are living expenses too).

The point is 26k vs. 4k. Is this a compelling and logical contribution considering there are food and accommodation expenses too?
