  1. Sorry to sound like a pessimist but grants and scholarship deadlines are usually before the actual school application deadlines. By the time you are accepted into the program it's too late to look for grants. You should have applied for grants between November-January. Maybe try doing that next year, otherwise try to find loans. FYI Masters programs (at least in the U.S.) are RARELY fully funded, you are lucky if you can get 25% of the total costs covered. My suggestion is to speak to a Columbia rep. about your situation to find out the best plan of action, otherwise apply for scholarships while you're in the U.S. and stay tuned to deadlines. You may also consider scholarships offered THROUGH columbia/fellowships/ Teaching Assistantships or Research Assistantships, and usually these are not limited to U.S. Citizens/Residents, so try to find out through your college. Otherwise good luck next semester.

    Yes like Fulbright, the fullbright in my country requires 2 years experience which is not required in most countries. But i am talking about Agha khan this scholarship is provided the same year, so i can't apply till i get my admission letter. The problem with them is that they respond way to late.. it is very risky. I talked to the admission office and professors there and just they told me okay, try the fullbright ! then when i talk to financial aid asking them they tell me teaching assistant or a loan, but we wouldn't recommend TAs from the beginning just after u finish 1 semester professor choose from students TAs.. I feel that they truely are deliberately making it hard for students. I am from Egypt and the American embassy will not grant me any Visas till i have the money to pay for the entire Masters. I truly am trying to find any way to get into this college.That's a problem.... I really really appreciate ur response 

  2. Guys i really need ur help in sth, i have a huge problem! first of all i am trying to find a scholarship to go to columbia Msc program. The problem is that they do not provide any kind of grants. And as an Arab student it is extremely difficult to find a scholarship. Even there are fulbright in my country requires 2 years experience  :wacko:  ! which i consider 2 be a bullshit since i am aiming for academic degree and not professional 1. So i was thinking about partial fellowships and take the remaining as a loan, so will it be a burden on me? is it a suicide kind of action :D    and to consume my chances 2 apply for Agha khan foundation scholarship, but the problem with this 1 is that they reply very late in July :D   courses start on August  :o    I have never been so confused like this and i want any assistance i could get or opinions even  :wacko:   You would help a student from killing herself  :D   PLZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank u in advance :D i wanna hear experiences for international students wanting 2 study in ivy league and how it was possible  :D

  3. Yes and i emailed them as well, and they told me i have to have an outside scholarship or to apply for a loan as an international student  :(  :( i honstely don't know why they don't think about providing scholarship for MSc like  they do for MBA  :wacko:

     

    Thank you so much for responding  :)

  4. I am planning to apply for the Columbia Masters of science in Marketing program& unfortunately there aren't any fellowships or scholarships provided by the school except for MBA students; so i was wondering if anyone is attending this school as an international student what kind of organization would provide me with even partial fellowship; or how could i afford going to this school for example i could go to a good place and work part time in NY or the university or what so ever ! So i would really really appreciate all ur suggestions as it is my dream to attend this university  :)  :)  :)  :)  :) Thank you so much :wub:  :wub:  :wub:
