I'm currently an Ed.M. candidate in the Prevention Science and Practice program as well as an Urban Scholars fellow.  I wanted to respond to you because I know how nerve-racking the process for hearing back for this can be.  I was notified on March 16th, after acceptance decisions were made, about my status as an Urban Scholars fellow.  I was listed as an alternate and then on April 8th, I was notified that I was no longer an alternate and had received the award.  This one is going to require some patience as you won't find out until after acceptances have gone out, which won't be for another month at best.
Best of luck though.  Let me know if you have any questions about the fellowship with regards to the experience.

It looks like SSW is still sending out scholarships and grants, so be on the lookout for another award letter. 
I was offered a $40,000 scholarship and $12,000 grant. I hadn't even sent my appeal letter yet. 

Leaning towards NYU! I was accepted to fordham and columbia as well and have talked to a LOT of people from each program and i plan on doing clinical and nyu by far has the strongest of them all  

Yeah! It was a really quick decision. I was really surprised.

I think it just depends on the programs and the deadline timelines. Decisions are usually announced 4-6 weeks after the deadline, I say this because I know for the programs I applied to some decisions aren't going to be announced until late March-early April which sounds far away but that's because the deadlines were like a week or 2 weeks ago (Jan 10th and 15th) so it varies. 
I would say it is really important that you take into consideration when your application deadlines were, some friends of mine applied to MSW programs for early deadlines like Dec. 1st and they received acceptances Jan. 20th and Jan. 25th already. 
Exactly what schools did you apply to?

Hey everyone!
Currently....
Applied to: University of Michigan, NYU, UW Madison, Harvard, UPenn, USC
Admitted: 2/6; Rejected: 0/6; Waitlisted: 0/6; Nothing yet: 4/6
NYU teased me today! They sent me an email and the subject started with "Welcome..." but it was a letter from the Dean saying thank you for applying and providing resources and scholarship info to look into while they continue with the review process. 

Hey KruMaew and tuxedobird10!
Congrats! I also got accepted to the 16-month program! I'm with you tuxedobird10, I'm from California so the cost of out of state tuition is a bit out of my range but then again U of M is #1 for Social Work and I would love to experience working with the communities in Detroit. I got accepted for the Practice Method Concentration/Area: Comm Org/Comm & Soc System MSW and I am still crossing my fingers to get into the Community Based Initiative Special Program. 
 
Did either of you apply to the GSSA positions? Or any scholarships etc? Have you received any info about funding? etc? 

Congrats! I've also been accepted for the 16 month program. I'd really love to go but I'm out of state and that cost is crazy. So hopefully I'll get some of the aid/scholarships I've applied to otherwise it just won't be feasible. 

Hey guys! I don't see any UofM threads on here so I figured I'd start one. Anyone else out there?
 
I've been accepted to the 16 month program starting in Fall 2017, in the IP/Mental Health specialization. I'm an Ann Arbor native so I'm 99% sure I'll be attending Michigan- doing a school visit this coming Tuesday where I'll be sitting in on a class and then getting a tour and having lunch with a current student.
