How to make successful funding request to UChicago MAPSS?

[serena_]

Hi, is there anyone who has succeeded in increasing the scholarships/ financial awards they have received,  as part of their admission to top graduate schools?

I currently have one admission offer from UChicago's MAPSS program, and was able to increase the financial award to $20,000, but I want to request again that the school provide a full tuition award.

What can I say and how can I appeal to the MAPSS committee better?  Do I need to provide new GRE scores? More evidence of research activity? 

I heard that this funding request was not supposed to be difficult, but it does not seem so for me.

Bumping in because I am also interested in this! I applied to MAPSS at UChicago and if they don't offer me full tuition I want to learn how to appropriately request it. I won't be going unless they offer full tuition because it's just so expensive.
