Hello to all.
I am considering applying to MPP/MPA programs for the fall of 2010. I want to focus on social/domestic policy and the politics of passing policy. I live in Pittsburgh and am working at an environmental stewardship/youth development program for the summer (and studying for the GREs...whooa I can hardly wait) and then doing Americorps VISTA from August 09- August 10.
Does anyone know which MPP/MPA programs give Americorps alum scholarships??? I know CMU Heinz school does, but I don't think i have seen any others yet.
As for schools, right now I am looking into Heinz, the DC schools, and Duke. After I take the GREs I will have a better idea of the schools/programs where I will be a competitive applicant.
