Thanks! My university hasn't really encountered this sort of problem before, but they're willing to consider something like this!

I applied from funding from my university and from AAUW to support the last year of my dissertation. I received a dissertation award from my university (32,000) a couple weeks ago and must accept/decline it today. I also just received the AAUW dissertation fellowship ($20,000). I know the AAUW fellowship is much more prestigious than my internal award but it's a 12,000 dollar difference and it's hard to turn down that much money in grad school. I live in a high cost of living area and my current stipend is around 29,000 so it'd be a massive change in my income and I'd probably have to pick up a class or two to make up the difference (which negates the point of the fellowship in my opinion), but everyone thinks I should take the AAUW fellowship. Trying to get a couple more opinions before I decide.

I applied to the Developmental Psych (Human Development) PhD program at TC and got in. I'm not sure if Masters programs have heard yet. No word on funding yet though so I'm still waiting on my decision

Thanks for the information. TC is the only program I've been accepted to so far. I've been waitlisted at two others. I guess my question is should I go to TC this year with little to no funding or roll the dice and reapply next year with the hope of more funding from another school. I feel like I was pretty close this year and maybe another year with more lab experience could help me get into more schools but I could also not get in anywhere next year.

Do you think it's worth going to teacher's college with little to no funding? Obviously you decided to go but I was wondering about your reasoning.

I just got accepted to the human development PhD program at TC. I was wondering if anyone has any information on funding or what the program is like?

I interviewed with CUNY and was waitlisted. Teacher's College should get back to applicants mid to late March.

Has anyone heard from Teacher's College?

Just heard from NYU's program. Interview is the 12th to the 13th.
