foolish.nostalgia Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Hey all, I have just been accepted to a funded masters program at UMASS Boston. I've gotten 100% tuition waiver, which just leaves me with paying the program fees. Which is great and all, but it looks like I'll still be paying around $10,000/year in just program fees. This seems a little bit excessive to me and I'm wondering if I'm just mis-reading the funding letter I have been sent. I don't want to seem ungrateful for the money being offered, but I do want to know if this sort of thing is normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGirlWhoLived Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 That sounds really weird to me. From the schools I went to, it sounded like it would be more like $1200 a year in fees. I would ask them about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh70 Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 That sounds very high to me as well. At my school fees are maybe like $1,000 a year at most I think. Doesn't sound normal to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foolish.nostalgia Posted March 28, 2014 Author Share Posted March 28, 2014 I asked about it and did a little digging and it looks like this is just a Massachusetts thing, where all the public schools have really low tuition costs but super high program fees. It's still a good program and the $10,000/ year is still significantly lower than the other (completely unfunded) programs I have been accepted into. But it is still a very weird situation.
