You can ask them politely about it I believe. Just be frank and mention that the 10% is really required for that particular school to be a financially comfortable option for you. If it is possible for them to raise it, they will. There is no harm in mentioning what is important for you, just be polite and professional. Since they already increased your offer once, they are really interested to have you with them.

Thank you for your thoughtful advice! I will try my best.

Hi there! Curious if this interaction was via email or phone? I am working on crafting an email to negotiate additional aid right now and feeling very awkward!

I initially contacted them via email (explaining my situation) and they offered a zoom meeting to discuss. The person in charge was very kind and professional. 

Don't feel awkward about it! I'm sure they receive tons of similar requests every cycle. I hope it works out well for you!
