Okay, thanks for the tip, bork. I didn't do any co-op this year so my tax form doesn't list that info; I'll have to get in touch with the co-op office. And my post was entirely speculative! I haven't heard a thing.

Does anyone know much about the restrictions on how many classes one needs to take each semester to be eligible for OGS? For example, I was planning on doing two co-op work terms next year along with one class each semester--would that fly? Does one get the funding on a term by term basis or do they just give you the full $15k if they see you still have one year (or more) of your degree left to complete? Cheers!

Hey all, So I've been accepted to DC, but alas with no funding (or any of the loan/gifts people above are talking about--but maybe that's cause I'm an international student?). So I'll be facing the same prospect others in the thread are--100k+ in private loans. In contrast, I'm being offered a free ride at a number of Canadian public policy/international relations schools. None have the reputation of SAIS, of course, but seeing as I hope to work in the public sector here in Canada, perhaps staying here will be a better networking/internship/etc opportunity for my career path? Esteemed posters, what's your take on it? I think I already know the answer to my questions...damn, I really did want to go to SAIS
