Hey everyone I was accepted 4/3 and did my interview on 3/29 for the Community Organizing, Planning, & Development method. Does anyone know when the scholarship application will open up? The info on the website is outdated and says scholarship apps were due Nov 11th, 2016
-
anyone heard back for their appeal yet?
-
@aaresident I think your reasoning makes perfect sense! I'm out of state so I basically asked to have the remaining balance covered. My current financial aid package consists of grants + loans + work/study that don't cover the entire cost, there's about 11k per semester that I would have to come up with in some other way, so I'm asking to have that covered.
-
When I called, I spoke to someone on the re-review board and she said the amount we request should be strategic, because amounts too large would be denied and they don't then give you the most that they can, because the amount we request is supposed to be based on unmet financial need. She said they won't speculate on what our unmet financial need is if we demand too large an amount and it has to be denied.

@aaresident @HopefullyMSW @KruMaew How much are you all planning on appealing for? The form they give you asks to request a specific amount for each semester. I'm afraid of asking for too much or too little! I want to get enough to make it affordable to go, but am afraid of asking for too much and having my request denied as a result.

Woops ignore my previous question! Didn't see that you said that
-
Awesome!! Is the 40k from GASP? Congrats

That's so strange. I got was offered aid from the SSW a month after I was accepted. I got my acceptance letter on Jan 9th, and received my financial aid award notice on Feb 9th. No loans were part of that yet, only funds from the SSW. I later got an official award notice with loan offerings as well. I wonder why they're waiting with you and didn't for me, as I also applied to a special program. I've been wondering if something is wrong with my special programs application (to the global activities program) because I haven't heard anything, and many other people on this forum have already been accepted to it or put on the alternate list.

You never know, it's worth a shot. On last year's Umich forum, someone went from being offered $9,000, to having over 50% of their tuition covered.

I didn't get the student services GSSA position
-
I am with you there!! I actually might have to put off grad school for a year if I don't get a substantial scholarship anywhere
-
Same! I didn't feel qualified for the career services position but feel that I might have a chance for student services. I really hope they'll reach out to us soon, the deadline to respond to Michigan is approaching!
-
I got an email saying I wasn't selected for the Career Services position, but no word from the student services position yet.
-
Did anyone else reply to the Telluride House?
-
I'm sorry to hear you were both placed on the alternate list! I hope something else comes through for you guys. I still haven't heard from GASP or GSSA. I'm not so worried about not having heard from the the GSSA positions, but it's strange that I haven't heard from GASP yet.
