I received a small scholarship this morning as well. I don't think it will influence my decision one way or the other, but I appreciate the gesture.

That's possible. Let's hope they were referring to future awards!
-
I just got an email from the financial aid office and it's all about federal loans. I fear this means I probably didn't get scholarship funding, but I'll keep waiting.

Did anyone else apply for the Snow fellowship?
-
They extended the deadline to January 10th.
-
I got into SIPA, but no funding (or so it appears).

Rejected Good luck to everyone else!

I applied for the MPA as well. I'm counting on a good funding decision, which in SIPA terms basically means I purchased a $95 lottery ticket.

Hey! I've been accepted to both Syracuse and Albany, with funding info to come in the next few weeks. I think we hear back from NYU a week from today and SIPA sometime this month as well. -

No one should take out $150,000 for a Master in Public Administration. Full stop. In fact, I would be hesitant about taking out more than $50,000 in total debt. A MPA can lead to a good career, but it's unlikely to lead to great salaries early on. Now that we have a federal hiring freeze, this is doubly true. In the end, this is a public service degree. Don't assume business sector growth potential.
-
While it's great I've been accepted to great graduate schools, the "real" admissions process for me is the funding decision. It's what will determine whether I actually attend graduate school. I imagine this will be a far more competitive process.
-
If you don't mind me asking, how did you come up with the 79K number? That sounds too high for Syracuse's program, which is 40 credits. Even with living expenses, that seems like it's on the very high end.
-
I received my acceptance e-mail today. Formal letter will be arriving soon and financial aid info in late March. Good luck to everyone else!
-
Same, but I would take a rest today. Chances are nothing is coming on Presidents' Day.
-
Confirmation that they received the application, and that I made it before the fellowship deadline. I don't think anyone has received acceptances for Fall 2017 yet. That will happen in March (I believe they listed the 10th, no?)
